I grew up in FWB and still have family there, was "home" for the weekend just a couple of weeks ago. Anyway, I thought the local pass-along banana was Orinoco. I don't remember ever really seeing anything else. Can you post some pictures? I'd love to see if it is something different and maybe put a real name to it. Was the seaman Billy Bowlegs by any chance?

'Orinoco' is one of the Burro types, though everyone I knew at the FWB Garden Club thought our local was the 'Michel Gros'. Since my bird wrecked my camera I've been unable to send pics. They're about the size and shape of a Potato and look like they'd been painted by a Cubist Artist;>....
Had a Cold Snap last night so I don't think it'll Ripen...
Cheers,
