gehen sie bananen!

Yes, you've guessed it (or maybe you didn't), the title of this blog is "go bananas" in german. Yesterday was really warm and my mouth was positively watering for ice cream of some sort. But wanting to be cheap, I elected to grab a shake off the 1 euro menu @ McDonald's. When I asked for chocolate I was shocked to hear they didn't have it. I was even more shocked to find out the flavors they DID have were vanilla, strawberry, and yep, banana! Gross! Later that night the sushi bar & lounge I was at also had several martinis using banana liqueur. I guess the Viennese really like their bananas. After helping plan and subsequently take part in a banana themed party a few years ago I'm still a little banana'd out - too many banana daquiris and banana games - to tempt me to try the banana beverages here in Vienna.
