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.

I live on the warm temperate Adelaide Plains in South Australia: - see my newbie introduction at http://www.bananas.org/f11/newbie-ad...lia-48151.html

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

Thanks for the clarification:)

Re: My first Blue Java banana
 

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

Re: My first Blue Java banana
 

Musa Praying Hands has a vanilla taste!

I love the taste of real blue java but in my opinion it taste nothing like vanilla ice cream!

Re: My first Blue Java banana
 

I also agree with my bro Ty!....I had tasted Praying Hands and it tasted straight vanilla flavor!....One of my favorite Nanas!......

Weird, I get no vanilla flavor out of praying hands. Orange though.

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?

Re: My first Blue Java banana
 

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.

I've had praying hands on my list forever because I love the look of it, knowing it tastes like vanilla...it is now a must have. lol
