    1. Are you edible? Yes.
    2. Are you leafy? No.
    3. Are you commonly eaten for breakfast, lunch, dinner? Yes, any time.
    4. Are you a potato or starchy tuber? No.
    5. Are you a member of the Solanacea aka nightshades? No.
    6. Are you most commonly cooked before being eaten, as opposed to being eaten raw? I am normally eaten raw, but can also be served cooked.
    7. Are you red? No
    8. Are you a fruit? Yes
    9. Is one of you bigger than a grapefruit (about 10 cm) in any dimension? No.
    10. Are you sweet when ripe? Yes.
    11. Are you an orange? No.
    12. Are you in the berry family? No.
    13. Would a monkey eat you? Yes, monkeys like to eat me.
    14. Is one of you considered a full portion? Yes.
    15. Do you come in one typical colour, or in a variety? Almost all of us are one of two colours, but the darker variety is much more familiar to most shoppers than the yellow one. We're all green when we're younger, of course.

    Banana shape may not be an EU requirement, but our Australian supermarket cartel has a specified size and shape which must be conformed to if growers wish to sell into that market. Of course that results in a huge mountain of waste, enough to produce biofuel for the entire country.
