Default I'm not sure the flavor is the same...

I personally don't like artificial banana flavor and of course it doesn't taste like a cavendish. I don't know if Gros Michael tastes like it ether (but admittedly I don't know for sure). A long time ago in a science class we tasted the chemicals used to make artificial banana, cherry, and a few others and what that teacher explained was that they had these chemicals that tasted "fruity" and were safe to eat and simply tried to assign an actual fruit to the flavoring for marketing purposes. That's sort of why we now have new flavors like "tropical splash" and "wild cherry" because all the good fruit names are already taken.
