Do not bring bananas
They are Bad Luck
Back in the days of the sailing ships, sailors ate fruit to prevent the onset of scurvy. Bananas would ripen and spoil faster than most fruits. The bug larvae in the skin would hatch and infest not just the other fruit but the entire ship itself and would spell misfortune for the voyage. For these reasons, the banana was deemed unfit for sailing ships. Any mention of bananas was seen as a bad omen.
