National Geographic have just published the first of a three-part series on the history of the banana. It’s been done before, several times, but you can usually count on NatGeo to get it right, and it looks like it’s off to a good start. Coincidentally, I blogged about the crop just a couple of weeks ago over at the work place. And I’m sure Colin would like me to remind everyone that the banana is eaten in 192 countries.
