Bananas ...

... first, pause for people to stop chortling ...

A Sensible Question :

Why don't we get bananas described by variety?

I know that I like (say) Coxes apples, and don't like Golden Delicious.

I like Comice pears, but am less keen on Conference.

But it seems that the shops feel that "a banana, is a banana, is a banana".

But that's patently not true - I love the small, sweet ones from (mainly) the West Indian Islands but cordially dislike the big, boring ones from Costa Rica.

But it's not always that easy to spot the right ones (size/colour/bendiness are pretty variable) and one country may produce both good and less good types.

So why don't they label the fruit by variety as well as origin?

Very good point, Pixie, I don't handle them!

Evil things - and Lady J will back me on this.

Love bacon and banana sandwiches
Plums in local greengrocer's are all named (along with country of origin)

Now that is a horrendous concept, bananas and bacon - but then, who am I to judge, in being highly allergic to the yellow/green curved peril, as Lady J is.....

I have a jar of banana jam. It's delicious!
