Wow.
Learned yesterday that the weird thing that bananas and walnuts do to my mouth is in fact an allergic reaction.
Too many walnuts makes the insides of my mouth peel. Ditto with bananas that are not quite ripe. Apparently this is an allergic reaction of some weird sort, and I should definitely avoid walnuts and bananas to avoid making it worse.
I've always tried to avoid bananas and walnuts in any case, but it made me feel weird to tell people, "No, I don't eat walnuts because I just don't like them" when in fact the taste... well, the taste would be OK if the walnuts didn't take the skin on the inside of my mouth completely off. Ditto with bananas. But it's nice to know that I've got a medical reason for not liking bananas and walnuts other than, "I don't like them."
Heh. Weird.
