1633 Bananas were displayed in the London shop window of Thomas Johnson. The fruit had never before been seen in Britain

Brings to mind when grapefruits were brought to the little country towns in Utah. The ladies had no idea of how to fix them to make them edible. They tried boiling them, frying them and so on. Finally Grandma decided to slice them in a pan and pour sugar on them. Sugar was hard to come by, but honey wasn't quite as tasty. So it was a weird delicacy!
