Fried Bananas - Cal Tjader

Advantages: The milk tasted nice afterwards
Disadvantages: Over sweet artifical tasting banana flavour and awful aftertaste; soggy cereal

...Banana Puffs are a new and limited edition of 'Sugar Puffs'. I actually don't like sugar puffs because I prefer crunchy cereals but seeing as this was on special offer at £1 for 320g box at Asda, I thought it would be worth a try. The box is very appealing to children with the bright yellow box and floaty blue writing saying 'Banana Puffs.'

Taking a hearty sniff in the manner of the best wine gurus, I detected a whiff of something rich and sweet .

...What is it? Bananas is the clearance website for The Bookpeople - who you may be familiar with as providing cheap books through their website and also often through a buy-on-sight scheme that visits many workplaces and schools.

Using the site The website is to be found at www.bananas.co.uk, and this is a website only shop. At first sight it is a bit cheap and cheerful, with pictures of monkeys and bananas everywhere, but it is easy to navigate through the categories of Fiction, Non-fiction and Children's. You can see the books on offer in the various categories and the price reduction. The home page also lists "fastest movers" and "best reductions" - some of the books are reduced by as much as 92...
