I had a brazillian co-worker that brought in "real bananas" and it was a night and day difference. way more flavour.

"Real bananas"? Aren't they basically all the same strain of Cavendish?

Idk about Brazil but there's a lot of banana varieties that are regularly consumed around the world. There's Lakatan, Saba and Latundan in the Philippines for example, the Saba banana being really popular as a fried snack on a stick.

There are many varieties in the Philippines. They can usually be found in decent Philippino stores in California.

Yeah, but you should see the bananas at the indecent stores!

No. Here in colombia we've got dozens of varieties. The problem is they don't ship well so you can't generally get them far from where they grow.
