    Huh. I still see Gros Michel (or a relatively similar breed) at markets from time to time where I live (although I’m in the Middle East)

    Edit: I’ve also seen other variants before. I think the Cavendish is the blandest of them all. My favourite type of banana is a bit smaller with a very fragrant smell that’s also sweeter. Not sure what it’s called though

      There are a handful of places still growing Gros Michel on a very small scale, hence the “very probably” modifier.
