[Lexicog] banana

[Paviour-Smith, Martin]

To me the banana has a skin. It only becomes a peel when it is removed
from the banana. Strangely, for me a rind has to be a rather large piece
of orange .... Skin ... otherwise it is an orange peel. What do recipes
that require zest say, take the peel/rind/skin of an orange?

>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"?
