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.
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.
I can’t stand bananas. Taste or texture. I can do artificial banana flavor but anything with real bananas is gross. I wish I liked them because they’re inexpensive and generally nutritious.
No, but if climate change keeps accelerating, I might be able to eat a home grown banana. Unless the gulf stream breaks of first, in which case I can heard reindeer.
Both are horrifying to think about.

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?

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.
I’m with you! The texture is a horror.

The above user is a cat
Have you tried fresh banana picked a minute ago ? the small savoury kind (about 10cm long), or the red creamy kind ? the banana world is wide

Maybe a future classic dish will be banana reindeer
