[quote=@Awson] Alright. I can't see how anyone would find them appalling. They have a simple taste, with a not-so-strong tang. Texture shouldn't be an issue. You can time it to how ripe you want it. I assume Sherlock is smart enough to have not only had unripened bananas her whole life. [/quote] Well to be honest you got to start eating them about around the time they start developing spots. At that point the sweetness is at its strongest.
