    You kind of just tipped your hand at your gardening ability. And also that you’ve never had a real tomato.

      I argue mostly everyone here never had a real banana. No, the ones in the stores aren’t the original flavor.

        Well, the one in the stores are real bananas. They aren’t Gros Michel bananas, but that’s because Gros Michel went extinct before I was born (and I’m not exactly young anymore.) We might lose the Cavendish before I die.

        Supposedly the “banana flavor” in candy is closer to a Gros Michel than to a Cavendish.

          Also: Gros Michel bananas have slippery peels. Cavendish do not! That’s where the weird trope with no remaining connection to real life comes from.
