It's not lost forever. They have seeds in the global seed vault, and there's a few small growers still producing them.

You can actually buy a box of them still. They're expensive as all hell, but you can do it.

Get a few friends together and put some money into a pot, then buy a box and have a banana party.

Do they taste any different from the Cavendish?

They do. Ever have "banana flavor" stuff that doesn't seem to taste anything like a banana?

.... well, it does, it just doesn't taste like a Cavendish banana. It most likely resembles the tates of the gros michel.
