the Gros Michel banana. I never had the chance to try one before they were wiped out.

edit: and the Hua Moa banana, because it looks silly

I'll tack on apple bananas. They're tiny and taste like an apple and a banana had babies.

Apple bananas are freaking amazing. I'm always so happy when we score some at the Asian grocery. That little pop of acidity makes all the difference.

The Gros Michel isn't fully extinct, you can still buy them as delicacies. But from what I've heard they aren't that great, just different to the Cavendish
