> What I'm eating is relatively bland? If you don't live in a tropical country, yes. Bananas in temperate countries taste like Styrofoam. I don't know if this is a problem specific with the Cavendish or because the bananas aren't ripened in the plant, but in Africa and South America (and probably Southern Asia) bananas have a far more intense flavor. Same happens to guavas. Mangoes and passion fruit, however, keep the same strong flavor.
