    I’m interested to see the next flavor of banana.

      I’m kind of surprised we don’t have other flavors.

      I’ve seen the red minis but a bite sized fruit is not worth trying. Maybe there’s no reason these should be different than say grapes, but eating a bunch of grapes is “normal” while eating a bunch of bananas looks like a pain in the ass.

      Plantains aren’t really the same and need some preparation. Again, not a convenient snack.

      Give me a different banana of a similar size and A small multiple of price and I’m there. I pay at least double what I need to for beers, chocolate, ice cream, etc, so likely could be persuaded an interesting banana is worth more

          yeah, in my country we have more than 10 different types, some of them taste very sweet. Some are good on its own, some especially for fritter. But as you said, it’s only for domsstic market, not for export.

          On the contrary very hard to get Cavendish except in big shop/supermarket. I think most of canvendish are exported to the US and Europe.

      There’s only one flavor of banana.

      Banana flavor.

      You eat a banana, that’s banana flavor, no matter what it tastes like ;)
