  Me, too. I found out a couple years ago I had been peeling them the hard way all along (though I used to lop the stem off with a pocket knife, first).

  I never knew that either.
  
  Amazing the amount of things you can learn here on TUSCL.
  
  Founder should put that in the tag line rotation.

  I just found this out a couple of years ago also. I tried it a few times and didn't like it, so I've gone back to eating them the "wrong" way.

  I learned this on a tour of Sri Lanka in the 80s. Every day the tour guide bought a different kind of bananas for the tour group and showed us the "right" way to peel them.
  
  I still peel them the "wrong" way :)

  I've never before heard of peeling a banana from the other end. But I always have a knife handy and have made short work of peeling one from the stem end.

  I've always peeled them from the end instead of from the stem, mostly to piss off my mom who could get worked up about the dumbest shit. Now I discover the the "right" way is to let a stripper warm the banana up first...
