Folks, you really can't make this stuff up. The Church really pulled a boner on this one. Embarrassing.
On page 36 the 2008 edition of
The Friend, we have an interesting recipe for a dish called Candlestick Salad. Here is the recipe:
This candle will brighten your holiday and it tastes wonderful!
1 cup alfalfa sprouts, divided
4 pineapple rings
4 ripe bananas
1 cup strawberry yougurt
4 fresh strawberries
1. Spread 1/4 cup alfalfa sprouts on four individual serving plates. Place a pineapple ring on top of the sprouts.
2. Peel and slice a 3-inch (8 mm) piece of banana. Stand the banana upright in the pineapple ring. Cut a notch across the top of the banana.
3. Pour yogurt over the banana and let it drizzle down the sides to resemble melted wax.
4. Slice strawberries about 1/4-inch (.6 cm) thick. Stand the strawberry slice on the tip of the banana, to look like the flame on the candle.
5. Cut four 1/2-inch (1 cm) slices from the remaining banana, stand them on the edge of the pineapple ring for a handle. Serve immediately.
If you actually follow the recipe, you'll end up with something that looks like this:

Friend.

No pun intended?
Alas, that isn't entirely true. Although page 36 has completely vanished, the back cover clearly states "what's inside" and refers to page 36.
Now that I've pointed this out, watch the back cover disappear posthaste.

I am a bit curious how the inappropriate practical joke was done but I am not finding any active erotic quality in the bananas.

It wasn't a practical joke. It was dead serious; the humor was unintentional.
