Banana splits
If you’re old enough to remember the infectious tunes and goofy antics of the aforementioned Hanna-Barbera TV show, you’ll perhaps appreciate a good old-fashioned banana split too! Watching The Banana Splits while eating an actual banana split was pretty potent for a pre-teen; watching re-runs online immediately sends me back to carefree weekends of fun and frivolity. What the heck happened to those? Tra la laa la la-la laaaaaaaaaah… One banana, two banana, three banana, four…
Simply cut a banana in half lengthways, place in a long serving dish and add your choice of toppings below.
