Have you ever seen a foot-long banana? Well, you are in luck because this fruit fanatic stumbled across a huge banana.?
Sam Palmer is from Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, and was stunned when she came across the impressive specimen. She was so overwhelmed to see the banana, she burst into a fit of laughter before showing the fruit to her mom.
She quickly clicked a few photographs of the banana by placing it next to regular sized ones, and even her arm.?
Talking about the fruit, Sam said: "It's the biggest banana I've ever seen. It was double, if not triple the size, of the ones I already had [in the house]. It was about 12 inches long in total."
Sam's mother, Paula, went down to the local supermarket in Locking Castle to shop, on Thursday. She did not notice the huge banana when she picked it up and the 65-year-old only realised it when Sam looked through the shopping bag.?
Sam said: "I'm living at home at the moment and my mum came home with it.?I remember asking her 'what is that?', it just made me laugh. My mum said she hadn't noticed it was that big."
"I'm trying to eat better at the moment so I've been eating bananas every morning and I think she just probably saw them and picked them as she was out.?I thought 'I've got to take pictures of it," Sam added.
"I already had some bananas as I'd bought my own so I thought I'd compare the two."?
Sam also claimed that it was the tastiest banana she had ever eaten.?
"The sheer size of it made me laugh, I've never seen a banana that big before, it was a bit thicker than a regular banana too. I just thought it was hilarious.?I ate the majority of it in one go. I'd already eaten one in the morning, I must have been way over my potassium limit," she said.?
"It tasted really good, it was better than the little ones I had. It's the best banana I've had in my life."?
