An explanation

‘What’s a superlambanana?’

The question has cropped up twice in the last couple of days.

It’s quite difficult to explain, if you haven’t seen the Superlambanana*. Try describing it, and you can practically see the minds boggling.

The original is supposedly both a comment on Liverpool’s trading history, and also on GM foods. It’s a piece of modern art that I like the whimsy of, so I was interested to see on Breakfast News the other week that there are now a whole flock of baby lambananas all across the city of Liverpool.

Like the Grand Tour in York, there’s a trail you can follow. So it was that as I turned left in front of St George’s Hall last night, I squealed a little when I saw two of them opposite the Empire Theatre.

*He even has his own website, how fab is that?
