So what actually is the difference between ornamental, and not ornamental?
Is it seeds, simple as that?
Is it being edible or not? And are the non-edibles actually inedible (bad for you) or just uneatable (unpalatable)? or is that, again, about seeds?
Bear in mind I don't know anything about bananas. I once made a recipe and got mush, because I didn't know "banana" meant "plantain" given where the recipe came from (this was online). I'd heard the word plantain and just vaguely knew it was some kind of foreign foodstuff... this was many moons ago though. But my understanding of varieties of banana, ways of eating them etc, is narrow but widening rapidly since I found this forum. For instance I gather you have cookers and eaters, like apples...? That's a guess, I only saw a mention of them yesterday.
My only experience of bananas different from "normal" (= what
Everyone Knows, = what the shops sell) was in Jordan when they were half the size we're used to and lovely n sweet, which we assumed was because fresher than we can buy here. I didn't know you got different colours (red etc) until this week.
Now what is this ignoramus doing on a banana forum anyway, eh.
