Re: Chini Champa first bunch
I don't know that I would characterize anything about what I shared as "cute," but cool, Keith. I think the older post still bears some credibility within the broader context of the disambiguation of common names of Indian bananas, among them "Safet Velchi," "Ney Poovan," what have you--which are certainly different not just in name but in kind from Mysore--different enough, certainly, that the guide that you linked lists them as such. How certain people have come to conflate Chini Champa with Safet Velchi, as they very obviously did at one point in the history of this potentially-broken little site, I can't say. There is always a broader context than that which we know. I still don't think that what Dan is calling Chini Champa is Mysore, but I'll have to concede the issue to you.
