Help!! I recently booked a show but, the host wants to have a "Dress your Banana" theme. What is that. I told her I had never heard of this but she assured me that it was very fun. She attended one about 5 years ago when she lived in Calif. Can anyone give me any advice or information on this theme show?
 
I have never heard of this. Naturally, bad thoughts came to mind. ;)

I did look around on-line and the only thing I could find that sounds like it might be what she's talking about is a kid's party theme: We also have a banana fashion show - interesting fact, most barbie clothes will fit a regular sized banana. We have each group dress up a banana and then read a short paragraph describing the banana's outfit as it takes a walk down the runway!

Found this on a theme party website: Banana Split – Ask each guest to “dress up” a banana and bring it along with them to the party! They can make the fruit into cartoon characters, airplanes, favorite family members -- anything goes! Enjoy banana-filled recipes and banana splits for dessert! Don’t forget to offer prizes for the best-dressed bananas.
Decorating ideas:

Just like the Think pink ideas, think yellow.
Monkey decorations are a great companion to bananas.
Palm trees and other luau-style decorations coordinate well.
 
I believe this is itI hope this helps.

(HAVE YOUR GUESTS BRING A DRESSED BANANA OR A DRESSED VEGETABLE TO THE SHOW AND PLAY THIS GAME. YOU MAY WANT THE HOSTESS TO PROVIDE THE ICE CREAM AND FIXINGS FOR THE DIP!)

Hi there! I can understand your confusion about the "Dress your Banana" theme, as it is not a commonly used theme for a cooking show. From my research, it seems to be a playful and creative way to incorporate bananas into various dishes and recipes. Some ideas could include banana bread, banana pancakes, or even savory dishes like banana and chicken stir-fry. You could also suggest some fun and unique ways to present and decorate the dishes, such as using banana leaves as a serving platter or creating banana-shaped food art. I would also recommend reaching out to your fellow consultants or checking online for any tips or ideas on how to make this theme a success. Good luck with your show!
