How Do You Peel?
While obliviously part satisfying our nanny state five a day fruit thing, a friend of mine alerted me to the fact that monkeys peel bananas rather differently to humans.
Our hairy cousins attack the stubby end of the banana and use the more obvious stalk as a handle. I took this on board and tried the method in the privacy of my own open plan office.
A light pinch and the skin fell away, seamlessly undressing the now self conscious fruit. It was like a brain shift moment. A mundane task that I have been performing all my life had been turned on its head, and replaced by a far superior method. Beating my chest with delight I headed to the bathroom to check that I hadn't spontaneously started growing large quantities of body hair.
For a monkey to mock my lifetime of considered peeling was difficult, but I am not too proud to take a lifestyle tip or two from our primate relatives.
Undressing a wine and releasing the genie out of the bottle is now turning into a bland, corkscrew-free screwing action more than a wholesome pull. It's like a one night stand, not a meaningful relationship.
You used to be able to get to know the contents while coercing the bloated bark with plenty of skill flurry and technique. No matter how cheap and nasty the wine you still want to be rewarded with a pop!
It has been scientifically proven that the packaging of products can physically effect the perception of taste. Not good news for screw tops.
Wine is intrinsically linked to its glass and cork home. It would be a great shame to see this gradually being replaced with the adolescent look of a cheap alcopop.
