Default Full Size Fruit Plants

Hey All...

Now that my collection is bigger than I ever expected it to get... this fast anyway, I'm now wondering What varieties produce Larger or Full size fruit? I hadn't been aware of how many produced small fruit. I thought the norm was larger fruit, more like Cavendish sized.
So, Is there a list someone has compiled, that lists varieties based on Fruit size?

Also, are the smaller fruits usually sweeter types and are most "Plantain" type or cooking type bananas usually larger? For instance, I don't know of a "Dessert" type banana that is the size of a Rhino Horn... Or is there?

And I know someone is going to bring up the fact that what's a dessert banana to some is a cooking banana to others, but I'm sure you all know what I'm referring to. I'm not looking for a debate as to which is which.

Thanks
