Banana Blahs

  I keep trying. Buying bananas of different sizes, different stages of ripeness, different brands. I keep trying because I used to enjoy their flavor. But now it seems they are just tasteless pap.  I read a while ago that banana growers have been experimenting, trying to develop a banana that will grow fast and be hardy enough to endure the travails of shipping. Seems the result is a plastic banana.  So I don't think it's simply a matter of my declining sense of taste.
    There's always banana bread, of course. But come to think of it, does that really have  banana flavor either?
