I've had cashiers not recognize jackfruit, plantains, ginger root, star fruit, pomegranates, and dragonfruit. All of which grow in South/central America and are regularly shipped to the US just like bananas.

Plantains and casava (or yuca if you're Puerto Rican) can even grow locally here in Texas, so idk what the deal is.

I threw him an upvote for jackfruit, but I suspect the downvotes are because "serious reply to an obvious joke"
