FetusSlapper posted:Banana leafs(leaves?) are used to steam fish in Polynesian cuisine; however this is probably the same banana 'flavor' that smells and tastes like that chemical "new skin" band-aid alternative gel. AKA that fake rear end banana flavor you get from stuff like little debbie banana flavored snak cakes. When I first got a sodastream I bought a bunch of liquid flavoring from the baking aisle at the grocery. Artificial banana tastes like rear end and artificial banana soda tastes like carbonated rear end. I wonder why they can't do it better.

That's right, get a bunch of honeybees in a jar and give it a good shake to piss them off, and bam, fake banana smell all up in your face.

I thought modern banana candy was based off of a now extinct species of banana that was much sweeter compared to the cavendish that we eat now?

Banana flavoring is derived from angry bees. But now that all our bees are killer and africanized, bananas don't taste like banana flavoring anymore.

ChaseSP posted:I thought modern banana candy was based off of a now extinct species of banana that was much sweeter compared to the cavendish that we eat now? Not specifically. Isoamyl Acetate is easy as gently caress to produce and it's found in all cultivars of banana. It sometimes is called 'banana ester.' Like, intro to chemistry easy, and the moment you synthesize it you smell it and it's "Yep, that smells like banana." The Gros Michel just had less complex other flavors going on so it tasted more strongly of that particular ester. Part of the marketing pitch when the varieties of cavendish were being developed was that Gros Michel tasted fake in comparison. Similarly: Juicy Fruit gum is intentionally a mix of artificial flavors that just taste like some mysterious unspecific 'fruit'. But it turns out jackfruit has a lot of the same chemical compounds, so Juicy Fruit accidentally tastes like jackfruit gum.

Dr. Oetker pizzas made their way to Australia a few years back, and I can confirm that they not only are the best frozen pizzas available, but they also put some specialty pizza shops to shame.

AlbieQuirky posted:The Gros Michel isn't extinct, it just became not feasible to grow commercially. Yeah because it's really susceptible to Panama disease which is still hanging around on the Caribbean plantations as it's resistant to fungicides. Cavendish cultivars in the Caribbean are resistant to the strain of Panama disease present there but Cavendish bananas in SE Asia are now becoming infected because it's a different strain of the fungus in the soil there. Gros Michel are still grown and sold in Asia as it's where the cultivar originated anyway. It's basically a banana vs fungus arms race and the bananas are currently losing.

While checking out in the grocers, I overheard three suburban moms loudly exclaiming the virtues of Taco Lasagna. One said to add a layer or two of "real Taco Bell" to make it taste "OMG amazing!" I'm not saying they aren't right, but they were losing their god drat minds, and I am sure posting pictures of their off color mess on Facebook.

They used to use banana esters in the production of packaging which legendarily lead to some brands of early TV dinners tasting like bananas if they were left in the freezer too long. This caused a company to have to sell off all of these chicken dinners to another company who claimed their customers enjoyed the banana taste, which seems questionable at best.
