![]() Have not, please Let us know how they are.
Some here occasionally can be coerced to send some of their leftovers, you have to stay tuned in to the fruiting seasons and bug them though, it is worth it.

![]() Sometime after that, I ordered my own banana box from Miami fruit. In my opinion, it was only worth the money the one time to be able to get several banana species that I wouldn't be able to get any other way. That said, I would never order it again. Mainly because I didn't like the taste of any of the bananas! ![]() I was mainly interested in the Gros Michel. I found them to be smaller than expected and did not taste nearly as amazing as I'd been led to believe. I'd been waiting 20 years to taste one, and perhaps they'd taken on a mythical quality and I was just let down by my own built-up expectations. For me it was worth it for the one-time experience. The box was absolutely packed with bananas, and the quality of the bananas was great. ![]() |

How disappointing you had to wait 20 years to find out you don’t even like the taste! ![]() ![]() ![]()

![]() This whole thing reads like an answer to a Craig's List ad.
![]() "Hi, this is MiamiFruit. Sooo... how big is your Cavendish, Butch? Oh, you didn't like the taste? Better luck at the next port, Sailor." ![]()
