I don't get all this talk about "insipid Cavendish". Am I the only one that thinks Cavendish bananas are delicious? Yes, it's true that every other variety I've tried is better (I live in Mexico and we have several varieties of banana and plantain available), but even being the worst kind of banana I still think the Cavendish is very tasty. When people say it's insipid do they just mean compared to other bananas (in which case I agree)? Are they not eating them ripe or something? Or am I just too easy to please fruit-wise?

In my experience it's just that other varieties just taste better. The Cavendish isn't bad, strictly speaking, it's just grown because it ships and stores very well.

> Yes, it's true that every other variety I've tried is better What was the question again? You might want to place those Cavendish ones on the oven with a little of butter, or to fry them. They are unbeatable on that format, but are pretty bland otherwise.

  We used to wrap them in tin foil and put them on the barbecue while we ate the main course. Lovely.

  For both baking and frying in butter, I prefer plantains (so I wouldn't say Cavendish is unbeatable in those formats).

> Am I the only one that thinks Cavendish bananas are delicious? I don't have a problem with them. But they way they are grown is highly hit or miss. Yes, Cavendishes may all look similar. But the worst and best tasting banana I've ever had was in highschool and from a local grocer. I don't think most people have had a proper ripe cavendish. They get what the supermarket has told them is a ripe cavendish. And this yellow, starchy, pulp really is a banana. So they assume the Cavendish is not a good tasting banana.
