    First. As mentioned by MonkderVierte, not fine but a warning.

    Second. I’d really think thrice to pick up washed on the shore bananas, or just about anything edible. Basic hygiene to me. Many would disagree with me and say that one can rinse it off. But I don’t know, man. Guess I am a germophobe.

    Guess UK government is just trying to protect people from possible health risks. Cause, let’s fucking face it. Tons of people have issues with hygiene. You can’t expect everyone to at the very fucking least rinse these bananas, let alone rinse them well. Also, can you imagine any world government to proudly tell people “There’s bunch of bananas washed up on the shore. Go pick’em up! Free potassium snack!” ?

    Sad to see this many of fruit being wasted.

      What do you think of potatoes, then, which grow in a mixture of soil and manure? Or carrots?

      You don’t need to rinse the bananas though… You just peel them and throw the peel away, whatever was on the peel does not need to touch anything close to your mouth at all.
