I can assure you, you are very wrong about the uses of other varieties of
Apples and Potatoes. You're also wrong about russet potatoes for stew -- other
varieties work out a lot better when you want your potatoes to hold their
shape.

(I would assume likewise with bananas as well, but I don't have the experience
to know myself.)

It's OK -- maybe you don't have the most acute tastebuds or just lack a
culinary interest. It's even pretty much dead wrong to think about these
things in terms of uses. Food can be a delight and an art, and proscribed
"use" doesn't allow for that.

Anyway: if you haven't tried it in a while, branch out. You might really enjoy
and appreciate what you've been missing out on.

I do have a strong culinary interest, but I'm also choosy. I try lots of
things to discover what is best, and then I use what is best.

Russet potatoes are the best for stew. The others have off flavors or don't
soften as nicely.

I have tried many types of cheese. I eliminated all except mozzarella and mild
cheddar.

I have tried every exotic fruit in the store except durian. I ended up liking
jackfruit, dragonfruit, rambutan, lychee, longan, and loquat.

The point of trying new foods is to find the best, not to pretend that they
are all equally delicious.
