The Bible never tells us what the Forbidden Fruit was. We only know that, after some prodding by the infamous serpent, Eve gave into the temptation to eat it even though she had been told that the consequences of doing so would be death.
Despite the Biblical silence on the question of what the fruit was, it is popularly thought to have been an apple. I would like to suggest what I think is a far better candidate: the banana. After all, this fruit bears a far stronger resemblance than an apple does to something that we ladies – at least those of us with a heterosexual bent – often like to have in our mouths.
