HANDS OFF MY BANANA!

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I do think it's weird that every banana cultivar is described a having a "creamy" texture. Is there a banana with a jagged, rough texture out there? Chunky? Gritty? Watery? Greasy?

[–] TownhouseGloryHole@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Oh fuck, give me them greasy nanners!

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I've definitely had gritty bananas. Red bananas have such a small window of ripeness anymore they might as well be called gritty bananas now.

[–] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

well cooking bananas/plantains are starchy

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I have no clue what bananas used to taste like before they got bred to mostly the same 🍌 but maybe? I'm too lazy to look up descriptions of the tastes of old banana types. I also don't want to see the results of said web search.

[–] python@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago (3 children)

We need more mainstream banana varieties :c I don't want to die only having tried the Canvendish

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you're in the US, there's a lot of options for ordering exotic fruits, including bananas, but they can be expensive and you got to be ready to eat them fairly fast once they arrive in the mail.

I have a friend who used Miami Fruit before: https://miamifruit.org/collections/fresh-fruit/products/banana-variety-box

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 12 points 1 month ago

You bet your goddamn ass I can eat $147 worth of exotic bananas in two days.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I order exotic fruit plants from Sow Exotic, they have a pretty good range of bananas. The search function isn't great but their selection is.

Maybe this is what we'll get when the Cavendishes go extinct.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

There is already a cavendish variety that resists the fungus or what is it attacking it, but it was created using gene manipulation so it's not allowed in the EU

[–] eleefece@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Can we do a plague resistant Gros Michel, please?

[–] Syndication@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Let's just hope they have a bunch of seeds cryogenically frozen in a lab somewhere.

[–] halvar@lemy.lol -5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

There is no such thing as a banana seed. All banana types are singular lineages of clones. All bananas of a certain type (currently cavendish is the one exported to all around the world) are the same genetically, that's why they are so susceptible to colony-destroying fungal infections.

edit: i meant commercial banana types, as we were talking about the preservation of those.

[–] Flauschige_Lemmata@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There absolutely is. The commercial bananas just had seeds bread out of them

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

When talking about the preservation of the Cavendish Banana what they said is relevant.

[–] halvar@lemy.lol 1 points 1 month ago

banana for scale?

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

I'm pretty sure I have an ex that can deepthroat that like it's nothing...

[–] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

x5 multiplier, 1 in 1,000,000 chance to go extinct at the end of the round

[–] Zealotte@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

Why does this speak to me so?

Too much Bananalatro, maybe.

I see your eggplant and raise you a banana.

I thought maybe it would be the bit from Young Frankenstein where women sing in reaction to the monster's ehem banana

He does have "an enormous schwanzstucker" y'know
