Banana is peak food engineering.

- Comes in its own wrapper. 100% portable. Zero mess.
- Zero prep, zero cleanup.
- Instant energy.
- High potassium.
- Cheap

Name one bad thing about it. You can't. Banana wins. Pack it up.

I have had Gros Michel bananas. They do not taste like banana candy, although weirdly they do smell like the candy much more strongly than the Cavendish.

From what I understand people used to let them brown completely before eating them, which would have a different taste to what we consider ripe today. Also, it was used a lot more in cooking, which likely enhanced that particular flavor.
