Default "Praying hands" fruiting--these any good eatin'?

So my "Ladyfinger" (bought and paid for last year as a "Ladyfinger" from Central Florida Farms--you need to Google that name before ordering, trust me on this) FINALLY blooms and fruits earlier this month, and lo and behold it ain't no Ladyfinger but a "praying hands" variety that they also sell, as it has the unmistakable "fused fruit" hands like the pics on their site shows.

Anyone have one of these, and are they good tasting?

Another one of my plants has "inflouresced" as they say, but this is on an unknown variety I got from an acquaintance. The banans fruits look "normal" to me so far, small, and not "fused" like the other. I guess I won't know squat until I eat one. Probably a friggin' plantain, or one crammed full of seeds.

And the "Misi Luki" I bought two years ago from the local nursery also just poked up a flag leaf, so we'll see what happens there. Big mystery as far as I'm concerned. Why, you ask? Because the plant looks very different from the "Misi Luki" I bought from Central Florida Farms.

I feel like a father whose wife just gave birth to triplets--one dark with tight black curly hair, one a redhead with freckles, and one with slanted eyes and straight black hair. Meanwhile I have blond hair & blue eyes. "Hey, wait a minute . . . ."

Excuse me while I go projectile vomit for a while.
