I just wanted a Banana. WTF is this about?

[NamelessOne]

It's a reminder that if Britain loses the war the British will be force to only eat their native cuisine. Death by blandness.

Well, nothing to worry about then mate. We won't be losing any bloody wars any time soon, map already looks like Eu4 lol.

I like bananas, because they have no bones.

It should come with a -5% stability hit and a lack of tea should be a -%50 for the brits.

Anyway "Bananas are said to be the most popular fruit in the world today. During the war though, as imported perishables, they were impossible to get and most children did not see their first banana until after the war."

It's just flavor text.

Bananas are one of the most important foods for human development. There are areas of the world that were only settled after the banana and a couple other tropical foods were introduced.

Many European native cuisines were deficient in vital nutrients that tropical fruits contain, and the banana, among others, were a driving force behind European empire building. It's just flavor text, but puts the British overseas possessions into context.

Yes i know its just a flavor text but it was actually the first time I've ever seen it, among other things like having 3 China's simultaneously exist on my Edward VIII run. Losing the war was trivial, i had 100 divisions lined up on USA's border waiting to declare war, when Mexico did! It made it really easy.

I see Greece does have bananas they look healthy.

Britain has some really nice food. It got a bad rep in the wake of the era of rationing when everything was boiled and bland out of necessity. For some reason that seems to have stuck even though its donkeys years ago.

Greece, Romania, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, Mexico, Columbia and Honduras were my puppets at that point. I kept feeding Greece in peace deals, and tried to help AI form Gran Colombia but it didn't happen.

It was quite comical seeing "Spanish Empire" invading Mexico again once they joined the war.
