No, my banana isn't sore.
I was watching "A Passage To India" (1985) with my
good lady a few years back, and in the film;
Alec Guinness...that is SIR Alec Guinness' character peels and
eats a banana of a small species, and my good lady says
"I want that"
A short time later I saw some very small bananas, Manzano I think, in front of a Chinese market
and bought two bunches for her as a surprise, but when I gave them to her
she said they were not the same kind....

I just looked up banana types and saw Mysore.

If anyone knows the scene and the species from the film please
let me know, as I take my gift giving seriously and would like find some
for her, if at all possible.

Cheers everyone


PS
anyone else old enough to remember "Super Password"
with the wild bananas section?

Haven't seen the scene, but Mysore is indeed a well known Indian type, nice short fingers, a serious favorite among growers. There's several other good ladyfinger types as well. (those short small ones)

web community I've ever belonged to.

Cheers!!!
