  Not here around the world, maybe in your banana republic.

  We have atleast 10 varities in our country.

    It’s not lost forever. They have seeds in the global seed vault, and there’s a few small growers still producing them.

    You can actually buy a box of them still. They’re expensive as all hell, but you can do it.

    Get a few friends together and put some money into a pot, then buy a box and have a banana party.

      Do they taste any different from the Cavendish?

        They do. Ever have “banana flavor” stuff that doesn’t seem to taste anything like a banana?

        … well, it does, it just doesn’t taste like a Cavendish banana. It most likely resembles the tates of the gros michel.

  Depending on where you live, there’s quite a few varieties available on the market

    My local Acme carried red bananas for a while. They are fucking delicious, taste more like a banana custard than a regular yellow banana. They’re also a bit smaller so less of a commitment to carbo-loading when you peel one. I wouldn’t mind at all if they became the new standard banana, even if it would kind of ruin Mario Kart.

        Isn’t that exactly the reason that the banana ended your attempt? You could bent your move but straight is some kind of paradigmic ideology that you _fear_to save your own life?
