Note:
Bananas in Brazil were sold in hands. There were several kinds to choose from but my favourite ones were the small ones.

The local fruit shop in Rua Paraiba had a banana-arranger who loved to sing. Usually it was something like Brazil on my mind. I remember the cashier even started singing as she weighed my onions.
