Koi means “love,” and "bana" is short for “banashi” (hanashi), which means talk (not banana 😁). That's why the slang term “koibana” came into use to mean “talking about love”, which usually refers to conversations between close friends.

The original topic was a tip that when making stuffed peppers, making a small cut inside the pepper prevents the pepper from separating from the meat. So, it's like a kind of love story where if you hurt someone, they become harder to let go of.
