This is slightly off topic but related. Bananas in Asia are amazing. I've was lucky enough to try a Blue Java banana, and imagine a vanilla ice cream banana.

  Yeah, for the part of my childhood in SE Asia we had at least a half a dozen varieties. Lots of more interesting fruit than you can get in the US. Most notably is how terrible pineapples are in the US. And Cavendish bananas are essentially flavour-free.

    There’s a place in Miami that sells a variety box of bananas. https://miamifruit.org/products/banana-variety-box https://miamifruit.org/products/banana-variety-box

  We grow our own and are looking at a variety called "ice cream". I figured the name was exaggerated, but now you have me second-guessing that... EDIT: Apparently they're in fact the same cultivar. The bananas start off blue and ripen to yellow.
