Rotting bananas cause a ruckus in Greece

bananaI haven't seen too many Greek foods with bananas, but apparently, 2,000 tons of South American bananas made their way to Volos, Greece. Then they were dumped into a landfill.

The bananas were actually on their way from Ecuador to Turkey (wait, so are there bananas in Turkish cuisine?), but had become rotten after the refrigeration unit on the ship broke down. The ship docked in Volos. The local mayoral council decided to dump the cargo, but nearby residents have begun protesting, saying that it will harm the local environment.

They could have saved themselves all that trouble if they had just caught the bananas a little earlier in an over-ripe stage and made banana bread. Duh.
