I had a brazillian co-worker that brought in "real bananas" and it was a night and day difference. way more flavour.

I'm with you! The texture is a horror.

I can’t stand bananas. Taste or texture. I can do artificial banana flavor but anything with real bananas is gross. I wish I liked them because they’re inexpensive and generally nutritious.

I completely agree. I revisit them every year or two to see if my tastes have changed, but I still gag when somebody peels a banana anywhere near me. It’s an automatic involuntary reaction. They are the only food I can think of that give me an immediate gag relfex.

For example, I can be sitting at one end of a train, and I can tell when someone on the opposite side of the train starts eating a banana. I have to put my face in my shirt to stop myself from puking. I wish I liked them, they’re so freaking healthy, but nope can’t do it.

Have you tried fresh banana picked a minute ago ? the small savoury kind (about 10cm long), or the red creamy kind ? the banana world is wide
