When most people think about fruit there are usually three that originally come to mind.
Apple.
Banana.
Orange.
Granted there are actually dozens of different fruits.
There could even be thousands of each variety of fruit.
For example, if you've ever been to the grocery store and looked at the apples then you've certainly seen the red delicious variety.
When most people think of the taste of apple that is the taste that comes to mind.
It's certainly not my favorite apple though. I enjoy Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, and Granny Smith apples. I've seen dozens of apples and I'm sure I will continue to see different varieties of apples that I've never heard of throughout my existence.
There aren't as many different varieties of bananas as there are apples. In fact, most people have probably only seen one kind of banana.
That one is called the Cavendish.
It's the standard yellow banana. When we think the flavor banana we are thinking of what the Cavendish banana tastes like.

There are also red bananas. Yes they are colored red. They come in all different sizes but they are sweeter and perhaps a bit softer than the Cavendish.
Hawaii has a banana called the candy apple banana which is supposed to be quite sweet.
Of course you've probably seen the plantain as well. Plantains are also known as cooking bananas and they are supposed to be cooked before eaten.
So as you can see there aren't that many varieties of bananas but there are a few.
Chances are good that you will always think of the Cavendish as the true banana.
Certainly that particular banana flavor that different ice creams, candies, and pastries emulate is that of the Cavendish.
That picture of a banana that we get in our mind is that of the Cavendish.
Most people agree that a banana makes an excellent breakfast.
It's simple, quick, and easily disposed of.
There's even a diet that consists of eating nothing but bananas. I don't think I could handle a diet like that.
Not only is it boring but I have to think that something like bananas would not make my body feel great to have too many of.
I do love bananas and I think bananas are one of the most interesting fruits out there.
Bananas.
You've got to love them.
