My fruit bowl dont look right?!


Question:

My fruit bowl dont look right?

Hello i recently purchased an absolutely lovely square fruitbowl from ikea that looks fab. However when I add fruit to it, it just doesn't look so great. most fruit is fine and looks brill except for bannanas. Can anyone tell me the best way to straighten bannanas please?


Answers:
It's the way you arrange your fruit. You need to have it so that the ends of the bananas are hidden by the say apples and oranges and the middle of the bananas curve over the rest of the fruit. Don't have your bananas to high over the top of the bowl as this can ruin the whole effect!!! Also arranging your grapes in front of the bananas so you can just see the curve of them behind the grapes is quite effective.

God how sad am I!!!!!

viagra?

Ummm no!!!

If they dont look good in your bowl just leave them out.

lol straighten bananas? ........well you shouldn't put bananas with the rest of your fruit because they give off a gase, and rot your other fruits in the bowl quicker

good luck in finding a banana straightener!

You shouldn't put bananas (or even bannanas) in a fruit bowl as they will make the other fruit go bad quicker. You can buy some very dinky banana hangers (try Lakeland Limited) which will keep all the fruit in good condition.

ha ha

is that before it crosses the road

no but there are magazines tfor decorating or craft magazines ..you should buy one

You should hang bananas and not put them with other fruit!

Have you noticed that the bananas are getting straighter anyway these days? (Some EU regulation). So, hang in there, straighter bananas are on the way!

the earlier answer is right you should not put bananas with other fruit as when they are picked they are green, packed onto container ships, they are exposed to a gas which makes them ripen while travelling across the atlantic and when you buy them from the supermarket they are nicely ripe, those gases are absorbed by the banana and they are gradually given off again in your fruit bowl. You would be better getting a banana tree for them and arrange the rest of your fruit in the bowl

put your banana's in the rack...thats how i like to torture my bananas.......worked for the medieval people

Since the fruitbowl is square, you can put the rest of the fruit in the middle of the bowl and put one banana sticking up (not way up, just a couple of inches) from each side or you could have the bunch in a corner of the bowl and put the other fruit around and on it. Don't leave the bananas in the bowl too long or they will
cause the other fruit to go bad sooner. Also, putting some nuts in the bowl looks nice with the fruit. I have also put some fake (or real ) ivy leaves or other greenery, between the fruit and the sides of the bowl which looks good. And, last of all, a piece of fake cheese or even an artificial piece of fruit with glttery stuff on it (in the stores this time of the year) looks good with the other fruit. Sprinkling some small wrapped candies (a few) on there would do also! Hope it works out!

well what you could do is make a layer fruit bowl ok
1.just cut the fruit the you wont on the bottom.
2. then wont you own on top of that.
3. then so on ok
good luck with your fruit bowl tell me hoit turn out ok by.

make em cocked

forget the decoration

putting banana's with other fruits will make the other fruits ripen quicker, so if you dont want that, keep the bananas out anyway!

Ikea sell banana straighteners, they are near the fruit bowls!. A simple alternative is to place the banana centrally on a breaze block, curvature upwards, then tie 2 bricks to either end, 3 weeks later you will have perfectly straight bananas. Best of luck!

u of course cant straighten them but use them at the bottom or side of fruit arg. so that the curved portion is hidden by other fruits and only the ends show. this is also a good use of the space

put all the other fruit in first and place the bananas on the outside standing up, that will hold them

youre bananas.

You should lay them over the top of the fruit, kind of draped, if you know what I mean? Bananas are supposed to be hung upright , apparently.

Just dump them straight in the bin no need for those ghastly yellow things

your winding aren't you
