>From a discussion with my wife:

I know that the outside of an orange is called a "rind" in English. Is there
a name for the outside of a banana? I know that once the inner edible part
of a banana is taken out, what is left is called a "peel." Most everyone
knows how dangerous it is to slip on a banana peel. If a banana has not yet
been peeled, is the outside of a banana also called a "peel"?
