"Whenever I buy bananas, I always end up with one or two that end up a little too ripe for my taste.  When that happens, I either freeze the mashed ripe banana for later or make fresh banana nut bread." - April Ferre

"Best made with fully-rippened, discolored bananas.  It's best on the second day, after the flavors have been allowed to blend." - Calla Ferre

"My mother would make this, among other nut breads and such, for afternoon tea." - Jean Hansen
