Choose bananas that are firm and free of bruises. Bananas are best to eat when the skin color is solid yellow and speckled with brown. Bananas with green tips or with practically no yellow color have not developed their full flavor. Bananas are overripe when they have a strong odor.
Storage
To ripen bananas leave at room temperature for a couple of days. Once ripe store in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. The peel may turn brown in the refrigerator, but the fruit will not change.

A tailgate party is a
social event held on and around the open tailgate of a vehicle. Tailgating,
which originated in the United States, often involves consuming alcoholic
beverages and grilling food. Tailgate parties occur in the parking lots at
stadiums and arenas, before and occasionally after games and concerts. People
attending such a party are said to be 'tailgating'. Many people participate
even if their vehicles do not have tailgates. Tailgate parties also involve
people bringing their own alcoholic beverages, barbecues, food etc. which is
sampled and shared among fans attending the tailgate. Tailgates are intended to
be non-commercial events, so selling items to the fans is frowned upon.
Tailgate parties have
spread to the pre-game festivities at sporting events besides football, such as
basketball, hockey, soccer, and baseball, and also occur at non-sporting events
such as weddings, barbecues, and concerts
