If you want to sample Orinoco fruit, which will be the same as CA Gold fruit, you may be able to find a market that sells "Burro bananas" -- they are the same thing. I don't love them, though they are very good for cooking. I don't think it is possible to beat Dwarf Namwah for the combination of cold hardiness and nice fruit -- better than the store bought bananas for sure.

Excellent. Yes, I did some research last night for a couple of hours between chatting to other banana folks and I'm slowly deciding on a caligold, namwah and possibly a sweetheart I think its called. Ill have to go to my international store to see what they have, if I thought about it I could have last night while picking up some tea......but owell LOL can't win them al everyday. Cheers for the info. Helps a lot.
