They’ll have to step up the proportions of rat filth and insect parts to compensate.
yes, but we will still have to practice defending against passion fruit, and even pointy sticks. [/ obligatory monty python reference]
Herd o’ bananas?
'course I’ve heard of bananas, whaddya think I am - a nut?
So then this must all relate to where Peak Banana gets his/her name.
Yep, to that. The bestust EVER bananas I ever ate were these miniature ones my wife brought back from Kosrae (I think they changed the name to something like Kusae a few years back)
Not much longer than your finger. Delish.
Dang it! Just dang it! The umpteenth time I hit submit instead of preview! Sorry.
Also, I’ve had some (also smallish) bananas that were kind of a red color, but don’t remember where they came from.
Seems to me, there are lots of alternatives to the Cavendish. Anyway, I sure hope so.
Around here they come from the produce market.
They are tasty little things.

Bananas are only edible during an approximate 48 hour window.
Green bananas - not good eating.
Ripe bananas - not good eating.
During transition from green to ripe before any brown spots start to appear. Ambrosia.

OH! Did you know that you’re wrong?!? 
its true… bananananas are best with brown spots… more converted sugars…
thats no opinion i’m afraid. 
(a) Agreed, Cavendishes are lame as bananas go; OTOH, off-season or after hurricanes even we in banana-growing lands have to import these mass market freaks. Their main virtue is they ship well; but they’ve been bred into genetic indistinctness to the point that for years a pandemic blight been a real threat.
(b) Y’people don’t get it. Green bananas are eaten cooked. Or at least pickled.
© An article in Smithsonian last year claimed that when you count the varieties of banana and plantain together, it adds up to the #4 dietary starch source in the world, after rice, wheat and maize.
Guilty as charged.
