Hearing you guys on SciShow Tangents discussing bananas after hearing this episode is wild
the first five minutes of yall discussing banana opinions was SO WACK
I loved this, I work in horticulture and have heard this fact/myth thrown about and now I can be the person who's like "well actually this podcast I listen to..."
So it sounds like banana candy DOES taste like the Gros Michele. It just...wasn't on purpose
So, while "banana flavor" isn't actually based ON the gros michel, it is closer in experience TO the gros michel than our cavendish bananas.
the vanilla argument is invalid because artificial vanilla is *exactly* chemically identical to natural natural is, however, better if u are making something cold that will preserve the organic volatile compounds like ice cream but baking will destroy them etc.
Really liking this direction for the podcast. Also, Team Melissa Get bananas out of my food.
excellent episode, high fives all round 🙏
It sounds as though you are differentiating bananas and plantains.
