Bizarre Double Bananas

I was given a bizarre double banana. Or rather I was offered a chance to take a banana off a bunch of bananas in Singapore. I initially refused the double banana and opted for another. Was a banana which has split into safe to eat? To me it looked like the genetics was out of control, a freak, a doubling of cells, like attached twins, like cancer.

Then I went back and took the double banana. I wanted to photograph it - before I ate it.

Was it safe to eat? If I am still doing blog posts a week from now, the answer is yes.
