Went to the market and took some shots of a few more common Thai banana types. And I'm hoping you can help me identify them.
First up, above (the ones that are hanging, not the ones on the table) we've got what the Thais seem to interchangeably call Kluay Hom or Hom Thong. Is this Gros Michel? Doesn't taste like Cavendish.
Next, below, we've got the banana that I can't stand to eat. I'd describe its taste as insipid. Actually, I think it's the one fruit I dislike. I'm talking about the middle row. The one on the left may be different. I think the Thais call the middle row ones Kluay Khai, but I'm not sure.
Finally, below, we've got a thicker type that turns black. Taste is fairy good, but nothing special. Don't know what they call it.
Any insights?
Thanks.
