Ohh, yuck! The flavour! DCs are mealy and mooshy and insipid, and Gran Nains are firmer, a bit less mealy although still too much so for my taste, and the flavour is just a tad less "chemical" to my palate. For my dos centavos, the GN is a better banana than the DC, but with the new resistant strains of Gros Michel that have been developed down here I don't see why anybody grows the others anymore.... Except perhaps that 30cm-long bananas weighing in at about 500g each would wierd the heck out of the North American market...
