Default Trying to ID a mysterious fruit

There are several species, only one of which is much eaten in the UK.
It's the best of the ones I know, but we grew only two in Africa,
and the other (bananadilla, P. mollissima, I think), I find insipid.
I have tried a few recently, and none have been exciting.

I have never been to the Caribbean, south or central America, and
so my knowledge of them is scanty.
