Does anybody want a system that lets you burrow a hole thru a banana so that you can pump it complete of bespoke filling?
Banana Surprise Yum Station (coolshop.Co.Uk, £18. Ninety-nine). Fruit secured in a cradle is hollowed by an annular cannula, with fillings injected through a pipette.
Why?
Bananas aren’t silly sufficient.
Well?
This week, a gadget lets you impregnate a banana – and this sentence is the worst element approximately. To make clear, it burrows a hollow via one, so you can pump it complete of bespoke filling like you’ve always desired. Mmmm. As with the great merchandise, I can’t discern its name: Banana Surprise? Banana Yumstation? They’re both Yewtree-alerting internet seek terms, so it doesn’t count. The set resembles My First Urology Kit with its selection of catheters and is straight away harrowing to apply.

To start, I snip the top and secure my fruit within a flange. The instructions don’t assist. It’s tough to listen “positioned banana within the Yumstation.” Is this a personal episode of In the Night Garden wherein Igglepiggle and Upsy Daisy get jiggy within the Pinky Ponk? I slide a tube within the fruit, extracting it completely from the flesh. (“Put thumb over the hole of tool earlier than pulling,” says the guide. I study the same recommendation in Cosmo as a curious teenager.)

The instructions recommend filling the nicely with fruit, that’s taking the pith. Other ideas encompass toffee, syrups, or cream. So … why does the field have a photograph of a banana overflowing with what looks like if blood? The toddler hoisting her Bobbitt-ed herb aloft is a chilling photo. It makes your blood run banana.
Reluctantly, I load the filling bottle with strawberry jam and pump it thru a teat. I’m no longer sure how well I’m watching for any of this to show out. However, the result is not appropriate. When I peel my banana, there is subcutaneous hemorrhaging. (Again: now not a sentence I want on my medical file.) This happens time and time again, jam weeping anywhere. It’s impossible to accurately feed the curved tube through the fruit unseen without poking out the facet. Horrific. There aren’t any winners. Poor bananas, already the buffoons of the fruit global without those Frankensteinian torments. This circumcision-decrease-botched-injection set is aimed at kids but the handiest ones who need a distraction from torturing cats. The carpet and my mental health are both irreparably stained. It’s a banana surprise! Hahahaha!

Any downside?
‘Bananas in no way tasted so excellent!’ The container says. Which is a form of an insult to God?

If Ham Dogger is the name they agreed on, consider what names the committee have to have rejected. Satan’s Log Gobbler? Poopy Bunghole III? As a tool, it merely sounds lousy: two halves of plastic tubing into which one squashes any mince, using the back of one to press a trench within the different, stuffing the flesh aqueduct before combining the halves and frying. It’s so much worse. The instructions read as if they started out out nonsense and have been then positioned via Google Translate. “Plastic wrap can be placed on the Bottom … To help launch the patty from the Ham Dogger” sounds as if it changed into lifted directly from Ronald McDonald’s ebook of scat play. “Place bottom cylinder component inside warm canine bun”? Do they mean to put the plastic tube without delay into a hot dog bun and eat it? Because I don’t want to die, I expect they’re speaking approximately the bun-fashioned plastic casing, which is superfluous. I dispense with that and the concept of mummifying my meat roll in cellophane. There are greater than 50 bizarre stuffing tips imprinted on the box, such as celery salt, dried fish, and “poutine.”
(They either mean poutine, the Canadian cheese, chips, and gravy dish, or doctrine, a French word the Collins dictionary translates as “woman’s bosom.”) I work with what I even have: leftover pork and vinegared crimson peppers. I line the interior and gather the meaty halves. I fry off the 75lb pork pipe, which weeps pepper from its tip like a case examine in operations long past wrong. At a look, it looks like food that has already … Completed its journey. Head on; it resembles a dog’s willy. Sadly, it doesn’t taste as properly as it looks, and I spend a day in the restroom afterward. Imagine doing this with pork and cream cheese or turkey and cucumber. Ham Dogger’s creators have transcended its unnecessity to reveal to us possibilities as endless as a nightmare. Hot diggity dog, they’ve completed a hell of a process.
Any downside?
Pushing pickled peppers into a meat sock and wolfing the consequences isn’t a notable concept, irrespective of what Peter Piper says.
