Default My first Blue Java banana


Finally I had my first Blue Java banana to eat.
It has taken at least 12 months to ripen! The flavour was very nice but not extraordinary, which you might expect since one of its other names is Ice Cream banana. They tasted nice but I had to stretch my imagination to imagine Ice Cream flavour.

"Ice Cream" has to do with the texture, not the flavor.

Out of my own curiosity, which banana variety does taste similar to "Vanilla ice cream"? If any.

Ya'll know you have different taste buds no?

It's something I have always thought about, especially colors. If we are different people and perceive things differently, do people perceive color differently?

People have different rods and cones, even in non-color blind poeople, so yes, people definitely perceive color differently.

My boss at one of my old jobs was mildly colorblind. He could distinguish blue from green, but his "blue" and "green" were different from the way normal people perceive it.
