The taste. I've tried to like them. Had them in smoothies and banana bread, had the is savoury and sweet things. I even made myself eat one everyday while hiking cross country, thinking I'd learn to associate the taste which much needed energy. Nothing worked, they just taste like garbage smells. And the texture! Firm and soft each have their unique horrors.
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!
Hey now!
