The Thais call the below banana Kluai Hom Thong, or Gros Michel.

Yet they also call this one Kluai Hom Thong (the hangers, not the nam was below):

The top one is fatter and rounder than the one below. They also taste different.

The one below is not a cavendish, as far as I can tell.

So what are these? The inexactitude of the names is kind of annoying.

Anyone?

Thanks.

It kind of looks like Maqueño
