Default Re: Puerto Rico Banana

In the 70s and 80s, I spent some time in St. Lucia. They had lots of bananas there, but they were all shipped to the U.K., rather than the U.S. I asked some of the locals about them, and they told me they were Gros Michel. They also said that people in Great Britain preferred a slightly smaller banana (Gros Michel) than people in the U.S. (Gran Nain)
