Banana Split Folly Tour

I was diagnosed with Kidney Disease in 2009 and at that time it was suggested that I stop eating bananas, tomatoes, potatoes, cantaloupe and similar melons. I was absolutely willing to give up all of those except tomatoes. 

I eat tomatoes pretty much every day in one form or another. Many sandwiches aren't complete without a little iceberg and tomato. Pizza's not pizza with tomato. Pasta and tomato sauce are so good together. A burrito with a little pico de gallo or colorado sauce is perfection. Salads with tomato, cheese burgers with tomato, grilled cheese and tomato, Tuna fish and tomato... I could just keep going.

I have to admit that I've missed the melon and have cheated on that front a few times during the eight years between diagnosis and my transplant. But every summer I just had to have one (possibly two) banana split(s). How can you let a summer go by without a banana split?

But bananas are back on the diet over here thanks to Kevin's Kidney and I've been thinking that I need to go on a Banana Split tour when the spring and summer come around. Maybe even go grab a couple this winter just for practice. Not the most practical thing to do with your new life when being given a second chance at living but hey a little folly is good for your outlook in general, isn't it? In fact that's exactly what I'm going to call this... the Banana Split Folly Tour, which you probably figured out from the title of this post.

So I'm looking for suggestions on places I can go next spring and summer to try some of your favorite banana splits, and you may also feel free to join me on any and all of my tour stops. I'm mostly interested in traditional banana splits, but a few specialty splits are certainly in order.

So let me know where I should go.

Thanks
