Man, if I had a bread machine, I would make ALL THE BANANA BREAD. All of it. Seriously. I'd probably have to send it out to you guys. Someone buy me a bread machine.

I can't remember the last time I ate something interesting. Tell me a story about something exotic you ate once, Bay12. One time I had cheesy shrimp on white bread.

I had haggis once, though that may not be so exotic to some people on Bay12. It was everything it's cracked up to be. It was outside Dublin in a little restaurant (owned by a Scotsman FWIW) we ate dinner at on our way south after we got off our flight.

Cat. It was terrible. Don't eat cat meat. It's terrible.

Good to know. But I gotta ask. What chain of events led you to eating a cat?

I don't think a bread machine is a good tool for making banana bread, primarily because banana bread isn't technically bread. It's cake. There's generally no yeast in it. It's made of batter, not dough.

I've been using this recipe for banana bread for years and people always rave about it. It takes like 10 minutes to prepare and 45 minutes to bake, and you really can't screw it up.

Bowl #1:
4-5 tablespoons softened (or melted but not hot) butter
2 eggs
2-3 superripe bananas (the blacker the better, as long as they're not moldy)
2/3 cup sugar

Bowl #2:
1 1/3 cups flour (regular "all-purpose" flour in US, finest-grain flour in countries where there are many types)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (this is recommended but optional, and I often use more than this for added flavor)

Mix the bowls together, add a handful of chocolate/nuts/dried fruit if you're into that kind of thing, pour the batter into a greased bread pan (or 2 small ones), and put it in the oven at 350 F / 175 C. Small loaves take about 30 minutes, a big one takes 45-55 minutes. Check with a toothpick or knife - push it into the center (all the way down), and if it comes out clean, it's done. If it comes out with batter on it, stick it back in for a few more minutes.

This is my standard gift for everyone for all holidays. I just buy a heap of bananas a week or so before I'm ready to make the bread and make a few mini-loaves. Everyone is always super impressed and happy about their gifts and no one complains about always getting the same thing from me.

If it was exotic to you then it was exotic. It had to come from someplace and there it would be more common. Don't sweat the definition so much!

I've tried sour fig picked fresh from the side of the road on the way to the bus stop. The sap is sweet, sticky, and oddly clear, and the fruit are filled with tiny seeds suspended in the sap.

Maybe I had an odd one (and I wasn't paticularly keen on nomming down on more than half a fruit grown wild on the side of the road), but it wasn't particularly sour. People sell dried sour figs and sour fig jam by the roadside quite often.

I love this show. Not sure how educational it is on the cooking side of things, but it's pretty hilarious.
