I can't wait to taste them! I've been waiting for many years to get one, finally ended up splurging and buying a box.

Additionally, Gros Michel (and Cavendish for that matter) are not one variety, they are groups of varieties, which varying traits such as fruit size within the group. Those fruits look fine to be Gros Michel.

Yes, these are from Florida. I guess my expectations were just too high as far as what they would look like. Now I'm hoping my expectations on taste aren't overblown.
