I was at an Indian store in the East Bay (India Cash & Carry) today
and they had 4 types of banana - the regular one and 3 other smaller
types. I bought two types: one that looks like miniature regular
bananas and one that's 6-7 inches long, but really fat. The checker
said it wasn't a type of plantain but couldn't tell me what they were
called other than "banana".
