I ordered a box of Gros Michel fruit online a few weeks ago and just received it. I'm a bit underwhelmed by the size of the fruit, I expected them to be larger or at least 'plumper' than the regular grocery store bananas, but these seem quite small. Smaller, in fact, than any cavendish bananas I've ever bought at the grocery store.

Were my expectations incorrect? Can someone who is familiar with Gros Michel tell if these are actually Gross Michel? Or did they send me the wrong bananas?

I'm attaching two pictures. Oddly enough, I don't have a cavendish for comparison

, but I included a peach. And one picture of me holding them. The one on the far right is the biggest one I received and is almost (but not quite) as long as a standard cavendish.
