I been going banana's trying to find some info about this specific banana. First of all, it may not be a banana, but definitely looks like one and tastes like one.
I only had it a few times about 25 years ago. It's a whole banana but about 1/2 the length and girth. It tasted sticky and chewy and very sweet. If I didn't know any better, I would have said it was some kind of preservation technique, perhaps candied or dried. It wasn't smokey, or wasn't tough, it was just very tasty. They were given t us as whole fruits, usually cryovac'd or similar method.
Oh, btw, this was in old USSR time, so my first guess was maybe it was imported from Cuba?
Any info or guesses would be appreciated
