Question short fat banana, ID please

Hello everyone

I received a banana plant and was told it is a dwarf ornamental. As it usually goes, this pup kept growing and growing and ... now it reaches 12 ft tall and
set fruit. (The bud was thin and long )
So I harvested and waited for the first one to yellow. Thick peel, not real sweet, I am thinking it is a cooking banana (and frying the slices sure turned out yummy)

But I always thought plantains are large and longer than dessert bananas. Any guesses on an ID? is it an Orinoco?

Thank you :-)
