She only enjoys bananas that are sweet with no acidity. So Andy, you need to think about what kind of fruit flavors you enjoy. If you don't like a little tartness, you won't enjoy Brazilian, Mysore, and Rajapuri, for example.
Thanks Mark, that's a very good point. I haven't tried a whole lot of varieties yet, so I guess I'm still at the stage of figuring out what kinds I like best. The creamy, classic banana kind is definitely a favorite, which I guess would be like a cavendish or Gros Michel? I've also had a tangy, apple like kind that was sold for a short time about 6 years ago that was really good too, maybe Goldfinger? Are there any other sweet/creamy banana varieties other than cavendish? Thanks!
