I had a banana that tasted like an apple when last time I was in Nicaragua. Has anyone heard of these? Do they have another name? It was very good!

They are call " Manzanitos" and they are the best bananas in the world. I sometimes find them in here, but very expensive, about $2.00 for 3 or 4.

I'm looking for an encyclopaedic, coffee-table type, book on the flora and fauna of Nicaragua (Central America). I've see a couple good bird books, and plant books, but I was hoping for something a little more all-encompassing. If anyone has one or has any leads (I've been through Amazon, Chapters, Indigo) I'd be very interested.

PS. I just finished reading Thomas Belt's "The Naturalist In Nicaragua" 1874. A mining engineers travels through Nicaragua in the 1870s. It's a very interesting book, keeping in mind the social and political context in which it was written. You can pick it up on Amazon in paperback.

I've got a coffee table book about coffee tables and it has legs so it turns into a little coffee table, in case anyone's interested..

If you find one
