Being descended from the Cavendish family, I heartily endorse the eating of the Cavendish banana.
“The Cavendish banana — the vitamin-packed yellow beauty found in most of the Western world — could be going the way of the dodo,” reported MSN News last year.
Geeez, you’d think a guy with a simple quiet banana fetish could get through his life unthreatened. What a world, what a world...
Coming in at ~ 10 lbs. that was sorta my moniker then ....
Have you eaten a store bought tomato lately? Well, not just lately but for years, they are all the same size, perfectly red, perfectly round and perfectly tasteless. I grow my own and at least have good fresh tomatoes in season.
I bought a couple of pears lately, they tasted like water, that is to say, no taste at all.
I hate bananas but this would be a shame.
I have no doubt someone will come up with the solution and make a ton of money.

It is weird but I ate bananas and banana flavored items when I was a kid but somewhere along the way I developed a strong aversion to the smell and taste.
I have to avoid the produce section sometimes when they have very ripe bananas.
Four years ago when I was in the hospital I told them DO NOT bring me bananas, any melon except watermelon and no canned spinach, all of which the smell makes me sick. Of course they brought me a damn banana. Good thing I saw it before the nurse got near my bed. I told her that better not be for me and if it was she can just get rid of it before she took another step closer.
The Whole Foods has the best produce selection and also different types of banana - including the plaintain, which tastes good fried. But not so much raw.
We do need to get used to new things. Perhaps the Cavendish banana will go the way of the crimson flowered broad bean.
WOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder what he weighs? I cannot eat even one without gaining two pounds.
A yellow banana is an unripe banana.
It seems strange that older Americans grew up with a banana that doesn’t exist anymore.
No wonder the bananas don’t taste as good as they used to.
Maybe we will all be singing the old New York street vendor song, “Yes, we have no bananas, we have no bananas today.”
