Holder Banana
 |
From which end do you peel a banana?
I used to make fun of people who peel it from the little end with no tab on it. I always thought of the tab like the tab on a soda can. But now I realize that the tab is the holder, and that it is a lot easier to open it from the other end if you puncture a hole with a fingernail. have you ever tried that?
sometimes when you start with the tab it doesn't break, but just splits at the seam, mushing the tip of the banana meat. That never happens when you start with the other end.
I love your question!!.. This came up during family vacation last year!.. 
My whole family peels it from the stem end, but my mom does it from the other end--same reason as yours, the "tab" is the "holder." But I find that sometimes there's a hardened bit at that end, and it doesn't come off when you peel the skin, so I stick to peeling it from the "tab."
