Mildly interesting

[Mik]

Yes. I buy the greenest possible bananas. I prefer them just a little underripe. Throw away far too many.

[taiwan_girl]

Old ripe ones are good for banana bread.

[AndyD]

Interesting idea but like Mik we buy unripe as prefer them firm, and they contain less sugar.
If over ripened to any extent MrsA makes a mean banana cake

• PROtest/proTEST

I dont get this one. What are the two different words?

[jon-nyc]

I went to a protest.

He’s going to protest the ticket.

Similar, one is a noun the other a verb.
