At least you can peel an apple with an apple peeling utensil, and have results that only depend on your skill with said utensil. Bananas, it's essentially a crapshoot. And they don't sell way unripe apples at the store either: no "buy now, but don't eat until 5-8 days from now, before that it'll kill your gut and afterward it'll be a soggy mess". I'm glad I didn't become a banana scientist.
