Pisang Kaki

I had these after dinner. They've been in the fridge for a good three weeks. Hibernating on the second shelf behind the half eaten pizza and the 3/4 loaf of bread. ( also 3 weeks old.) The nimble fingers deftly sliced these slippery buggers and no finger nails or indeed fingers were lost in this process. The smugness didn't last long. Slowly, a nagging feeling of nausea crept up. Were the greenish bits part of the fruit of mould?

Wikipedia ( yes yes..in desperate times we resort to this mode of data-collection from net ) tells me some interesting facts. China is the main exporter. ( Oh please please let it not have been soaked in some weird chemicals in some backlane in mainland China ). You get diarrhoea when you eat too much. ( Wikipedia did not elaborate on the exact definition of "too much". I guess that's pretty subjective. Big burly guys could woffle 10 and that'll be just about right. A toothpick supermodel might take a nibble and exclaim that she's had TOO MUCH. And you CANNOT eat persimmon with crab meat. The first thing I thought was, who on EARTH would eat this combination? Would you??
