  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Remove the peel, cut into thin slices, and sprinkle with a very little sugar and a few drops of orange juice.
  2. Serve in small dishes, placing a tablespoonful of whipped cream on each dish.
  3. If bananas are slightly scraped after removing the skins, they will be more readily digested.
