If you're in the United States and not in a tropical area, a website called Miami Fruit will ship you a banana sampler with some of the bananas you've been missing. Cavendish bananas are garbage.

$127 for 5 pounds of bananas, I live not too far from Miami I would be cheaper to drive there

yeah that is not my level of cashflow.

Mine neither, but they have sales and coupons once in awhile. My friends and I pitched in and we got about twenty pounds of exotic fruit for about $200, although it HAS been a few years. They might be price gouging like everyone else now.
