As for the 'Veinte Cohol' fruit taste report, regardless of growing conditions, a report is a report and the observation is valid and appreciated in my opinion. I would hazard to guess that most bananas in the world are not grown, handled and presented in a way which seek to optimize their flavor (standard export Cavendish exemplify this very well), but we want to know how they taste anyway. Most of the members of this forum are not able to produce "optimally" grown bananas even if they wanted to. All that is still aside from the fact that flavor preference is a very subjective thing and it cannot be right or wrong, it's just an opinion. Trends of general preference may still be observed, however, and it is the case with 'Veinte Cohol' that I hear more reviews of it being less-than-stellar anyway. So, thank you Rob for taking the time to share your experience.
