Me either I believe in keeping things simple. I don't wash banana skins before I peel either.

I wash onions, but not garlic because I think it makes the former easier to peel. I did not even think about rinsing garlic, but it might make the cloves easier to peel, especially if folks were roasting whole heads.

I do not. Occasionally I've had to rinse an onion because it had that black stuff under the skin but other than that.. no.

With garlic, I'll peel the outer skin off the head, then wash my hands to safely handle the individually wrapped cloves that were protected by the outer skin...similar treatment with onions.

In the 1980s, President Reagan defunded the mental hospitals. We are still seeing the ramifications of that decision.
