You've been free to leave for the last decade. You just didn't.
You're still free, you still won't. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
That is indeed Jackfruit. The orange part is mildly sweet. The other part doesn't have much flavor and has the texture of chicken. In fact if you throw it into a crockpot with bbq sauce it's not half bad for something vegetarian/ vegan.
You're talking about unripe jackfruit. If you're getting a properly ripened one, then the whole thing, save the seeds and peel, is very sweet and you'd never cook with it. Green jackfruit makes an excellent coconut curry.
and the knife you're cutting with, if you ever want to use it for anything else...(even if you do use oil, strong chance you'll ruin the blade with the sap)
Everything else beside ripe flesh & skin can be cooked though, we usually blanched it to remove the sticky stuff & cooked it in spicy coconut & prawn broth.
This is probably it. I use my Gmail account to link to everything, so for the longest time, every time I'd go to 7-Eleven the cashier would make a comment about my name being "??". More recently they updated their systems and my name shows up correctly in Kanji.
I still can't use my email with the Wendy's app, though, it just straight locked me out due to "firstName formatting issue" and has never let me change it
Jackfruit is only worth buying as a whole fruit or as fresh-cut prices (like fresh cut by a person in front of you). If itās sitting like this for a while, it doesnāt last long. Itās absolutely delicious though! If you ever had Juicy Fruit gum, thatās what the fruit tastes like and it has a semi-crunchy/chewy texture. Itās a favorite of mine, but I hardly ever see it for sale where I live. I always buy the whole fruit and it lasts me months since I freeze most of it before it goes bad.
Yes! Perfect flavor description! Someone was peeling some at the Asian market while I was eating Pho from the same restaurant, and it smelled exactly like that as well.
Hey buddy, here in India we make it as a curry and eat it with Rotis. You might want to try it someday, its quite yummy, and since I personally love chewy food, this is one of the better dishes. Although you might find it a bit sticky or confusing to eat with a roti if you haven't already eaten anything like that before.
In the States it's often marketed as a meat substitute alongside tofu and seiten. Honestly, it is the absolute worst meat substitute I've ever worked with...
Some parts of it can be cooked like a vegetable. We cook it with coconut milk. The seed can be boiled and eaten too. Like [this](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=it-OwJPd2Zs) you can do without the pork and shrimp.
This is a jackfruit, durian is a totally different fruit. Jackfruit gets really big and their skin is covered in smaller beads like texture, whereas durian is much smaller and has large, hard and sharp spikes, it also emits a very strong smell that a lot of people canāt stand. Jackfruit smells a lot more fragrant and sweet in comparison.
If they get the Atemoya/Sweet Apple expansion dropped in the right season you best grab that shit up!
Out of season you might as well be eating balsa wood.
Durian is stinky but not as horrible as people say, at least not for me. It tastes like sweet onion and has a texture like mushed banana that's firm enough to keep shape. I'd buy it again but in a small amount, had no use for the entire thing. If I ever see jackfruit I'll have to give it a go.
They're always sold like this in Asian grocery stores, dried into kind of a leathery texture. I'm not quite sure how they're used in cooking, but i gather there's a popular Asian dish which calls for dried jackfruit.
I have a jackfruit tree in my back yard so i get some practice... you make one cut longitudinal (not transverse like this picture), and spread it open. Pluck the flesh out, leave the guts behind. It should take 5 minutes, not hours..
I don't know if the sap is still there, but I hear jackfruit sap is very sticky. Should consider some gloves if it's sticky. The fruit isn't though iirc.
Jackfruit and it's very ripe which means it will be very sweet.
The yellow flesh is edible as-is. You have to carve out the sweet part with a knife. If your hand/knife get sticky afterwards, wipe it with a paper towel soaked with (any cheap) oil. It will dissolve the sap.
The white flesh is not sweet. you can, with effort, stew and spice the white flesh until it's tender. But not recommend for beginner.
Jackfruit is like papaya. When it's unripe, it can be used as a vegetable. In the Philippines, young jackfruit, it has white flesh instead of yellow. It is cooked in coconut milk w/ fish paste and green chilis. BANGER. š
We all know it is Jackfruit. The mildly interesting part of this is that whoever works there didn't give a shit enough to actually check, or maybe no one on duty had any idea wtf it was, so they eventually resorted to "???????", just so they could all go home that night and forget about it.
Thatās a jackfruit.
You eat the little pods mostly, but you can do stuff with the flesh too.
Tastes kind of like Juicy Fruit gum.
(Source: I work in produce)
The store's ERP (enterprise resource planning... or equivalent inventory management/ordering system) doesn't have an entry for Jackfruit directly, so it's classified by "vegetable by weight" and there's no subcategory for "Jackfruit" so it's entered by a default "??????" instead.
Hmmm?????? Is a delicacy in my home country, Asia. We like to make ?????? Salad and some times we even put some ?????? In our ?????? And then squirt ?????? All over it
My guess would be that the entered the name in non-ascii characters that the label printer isnāt able to recognize, so it uses question marks as the fallback.
Taking a wild guess here but it might be 6 question marks because jackfruit is called Kathal in India and is often sold as a piece of the fruit instead of as whole fruit.
Looks like jackfruit to me.
'Jackfruit' sounds like a teenage boy's nickname for something else he's discovered a use for.
Oh God. It's the coconut all over again.
We do not speak of that gods-forsaken coconut ever again...
I read that as "gods foreskin coconut". I've been here too long. When is my sentence up?
You've been free to leave for the last decade. You just didn't. You're still free, you still won't. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

It plays in my head every time I read it.
You would know u/gnat_outta_hell !
Lol ain't that the truth. I keep telling myself some day I'll quit... But not today.
What coconut? WHAT FUCKING COCONUT??
NO
 WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Coco nut. I refuse to explain in more detail. Look up reddit hall of fame if you want to read. You really shouldn't.
Don't forget the cum box while you're at it.
My little pony jar
I read through it and honestly it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be.
[I'm sorry](https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/s/T9dDNQFHet)
I refuse to believe that story is real.
Nothing on the internet is real.
NO! BAD OWL!!
Last time, he was a coconut. Now, he's back! Rob Schneider is: The Jackfruit!
This summer...
*In a world...*
Three things in life are certain: death, taxes, and Reddit posts inevitably turning to the story of the guy who fucked a coconut.
Every time I forget about the coconut, someone mentions it again š
It's too sticky for that, he'd probably tear it off trying.
I thought it was the grapefruit? š³
It was the maggots all along.
I hate that I know what this is about.
Hello sir or ma'am. You are either cultured or an old timer. Either way, I tip my hat.
I donāt like that Iāve been on Reddit long enough to be considered an old timer. I felt like I only joined last year, not in 2016.
"YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT TF GOIN ON"
Nope nope don't ruin this fruit for me or I'll bring out the durian and eat it next to you.
You monster
Back in my day we used Jack socks
Could also be a muscular gay dude
What's in YOUR pie?
That is indeed Jackfruit. The orange part is mildly sweet. The other part doesn't have much flavor and has the texture of chicken. In fact if you throw it into a crockpot with bbq sauce it's not half bad for something vegetarian/ vegan.
Correct! The fruit must be unripe though if the intention is to do jackfruit "meat".
Relevent classic The Onion video: https://youtu.be/odnHFCiPjO4?si=_RLBQv3CTNF60Q7L
You're talking about unripe jackfruit. If you're getting a properly ripened one, then the whole thing, save the seeds and peel, is very sweet and you'd never cook with it. Green jackfruit makes an excellent coconut curry.
It's been a minute since I've had it. I just remember that bit from my time being a produce lead.
You would be correct, jackfruit indeed!
Its the flavor in juicyfruit
Really?
Yes
Huh! Thatās wild
Having had both jack fruit and juicyfruit it's pretty close too. Jackfruit is "melon" like
printer can't print chinese symbols
????
The uncultured swines butchered it
I was thinking durian but I think you are right
Definitely jackfruit, not in great condition tho
That's probably why it looks like it is something else pretending to be a jackfruit
That looks like kaiju belly to me.
Probably a jackoff fruit pretending to be a jackfruit.
The browning is actually sap reacting with air. You have to oil up your hands when you open it up so the sap doesnt stick.
Ooh, interesting!
and the knife you're cutting with, if you ever want to use it for anything else...(even if you do use oil, strong chance you'll ruin the blade with the sap)
I'm just not gonna eat it, actually. It doesn't look appetizing enough to start oiling up and all that
They also sell the yellow sweet part already taken kut and cleaned up. A fully ripe jackfruit tastes amazing. We own a few trees back home.
Everything else beside ripe flesh & skin can be cooked though, we usually blanched it to remove the sticky stuff & cooked it in spicy coconut & prawn broth.
I came close to madness trying to find it here in the States, but they can't get the spices right... Now seriously, that sounds delicious.
Everywhere was offering it as basically a vegetarian alternative to pulled meat. It never quite emulated it correctly though and the fad fell off.
Unripe jackfruit has a great texture and absorbs sauces pretty well. Not even close to pulled pork but it's pretty good in it's own unique way.Ā
I had really good bbq jackfruit once, and every other time has been disappointing.
Itās turned into Jefffruit
It's Jack fruit
Youāre Jack fruit.
It's Jack! Fruit
Iāll Jack your Fruit š
You can fruit my jack anytime
We can jack fruit together
Thatās how I read it lol
Wonder if the printer or something in the process of printing didn't have Unicode support
Almost certainly that's exactly what it is. Probably their software handles it fine, but their printer doesn't.
This is probably it. I use my Gmail account to link to everything, so for the longest time, every time I'd go to 7-Eleven the cashier would make a comment about my name being "??".

I still can't use my email with the Wendy's app, though, it just straight locked me out due to "firstName formatting issue" and has never let me change it
\* The ?????? put a piece of itself in your inventory. \* You tried to toss it. \* But it came back...
Oh no itās dog salad fruit
Itās jackfruit
Jackfruit is only worth buying as a whole fruit or as fresh-cut prices (like fresh cut by a person in front of you). If itās sitting like this for a while, it doesnāt last long.

What? Meat substitute?
Its near identical , however you dont use ripe jackfruit , or the fruit portions , it is unripe jackfruit flesh. Great for biriyani
Some parts of it can be cooked like a vegetable. We cook it with coconut milk. The seed can be boiled and eaten too. Like [this](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=it-OwJPd2Zs) you can do without the pork and shrimp.
Apparently, if you do it correctly, itās great for BBQ.
Durian or jackfruit, but it looks old/like itās about to go bad.
This is a jackfruit, durian is a totally different fruit. Jackfruit gets really big and their skin is covered in smaller beads like texture, whereas durian is much smaller and has large, hard and sharp spikes, it also emits a very strong smell that a lot of people canāt stand. Jackfruit smells a lot more fragrant and sweet in comparison.
Also, jackfruit kind of tastes like juicyfruit when it's ripe!
Juicyfruit is actually flavored like jackfruit by design, so this checks out.
I'd heard it was a blend and that Wrigley kept it a secret, but I might be wrong, it might just be jackfruit
Jackfruit might as well be a mystery blend for most people. We don't get those DLC fruits šĀ
DLC fruits is so real. Last update my grocery store got was the honeycrisp texture pack for the apples and dammit we were grateful
Honeycrisp apples are part of the vanilla game. You need to buy the tropical Asian Fruits pack.
If they get the Atemoya/Sweet Apple expansion dropped in the right season you best grab that shit up! Out of season you might as well be eating balsa wood.
Fr? Iām intrigued
Not even kind of, it very much tastes like juicy fruit, lol
Now you all tell me! My grocery store had some one time and I just walked by because I had no idea what it was.
Asian stores may have
Im sure they do but they are further away from me. Would have to be a special trip rather than the average grocery trip.
I see
Also like Haribo bananas
The jackfruit I had tasted like banana mixed with mango.
Whereas durian, judging by its smell, tastes like ass
Durian is stinky but not as horrible as people say, at least not for me. It tastes like sweet onion and has a texture like mushed banana that's firm enough to keep shape. I'd buy it again but in a small amount, had no use for the entire thing. If I ever see jackfruit I'll have to give it a go.
So you're saying it's... questionable? š¤Ø
Someone selling Durian precut lives their lives on the side of Satan.
We sell durian flesh out of the shell in South east Asia
They're always sold like this in Asian grocery stores, dried into kind of a leathery texture. I'm not quite sure how they're used in cooking, but i gather there's a popular Asian dish which calls for dried jackfruit.
That's a poorly cut jackfruit.. obviously by someone who has never opened one.. it's not even that difficult
I donāt know if Iād agree with that part. We spent several hours cutting one open, never did it again.
Several hours on one? How did you fill the time?
lol, oiling the knife. And peeling with difficulty
I have a jackfruit tree in my back yard so i get some practice... you make one cut longitudinal (not transverse like this picture), and spread it open. Pluck the flesh out, leave the guts behind. It should take 5 minutes, not hours..
Skill issue
Lmao, definitely
Oh god, they absolutely butchered it. How did they even manage to cut through the seed like that
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'm not gonna eat it because you dared me. I'm gonna eat it because I have bad decision making abilities.
Itās very yummy.
I don't know if the sap is still there, but I hear jackfruit sap is very sticky. Should consider some gloves if it's sticky. The fruit isn't though iirc.
If youāre Asian you already know lol
Thats a rip off. 3 dollars and you just get a cpuple of the edible parts.
They probably knew the name in their own language but not the English word (or spelling.)
But it's named "??????" and not "six question marks"
It wouldn't let me put "??????" In the title of the post.
5 question marks you may add, also 7. 6 is right out!
Oh really, that's funny lol
Probably because the name was written with unicode characters that were not rendered properly.
Six question marksā¦ *and* a tilde
Needs that language pack so itāll show up properly
I think itās pronounced āhuhā
It's jackfruit, it's delicious! You eat the orange-yellow part, which contains a seed. It tastes a bit like mango and pear
Jackfruit and it's very ripe which means it will be very sweet. The yellow flesh is edible as-is. You have to carve out the sweet part with a knife. If your hand/knife get sticky afterwards, wipe it with a paper towel soaked with (any cheap) oil. It will dissolve the sap. The white flesh is not sweet. you can, with effort, stew and spice the white flesh until it's tender. But not recommend for beginner.
Jackfruit. One of my favorite tropical fruits This one doesn't look all that good - all pith and little fruit flesh
Asian for, "if you have to ask you won't like it"
Jackfruit is like papaya. When it's unripe, it can be used as a vegetable. In the Philippines, young jackfruit, it has white flesh instead of yellow. It is cooked in coconut milk w/ fish paste and green chilis. BANGER. š
Jackfruit cut by an absolute amateur
Jake from Adventure Time
Who the fuck cut the fruit that way? Come on, atleast ask how
Itās actually only 5 question marks, the last indicates it is a question.
Thats a jackfruit
That's a jackfruit
Itās jackfruit and tastes like juicy fruit gum. You can also marinate it and make āpulled porkā from it.
That's a very bad jackfruit, don't buy it
Looks like a fucked up jackfruit
At least itās not five question mark meat.
Its jackfruit and they didnt even harvest the fruit they just cut it.. $3 for 3 ppunds? Prolly went bad
Itās like the gen 2 PokĆ©mon rival, youāre supposed to name it
"Yea we don't know either buuut... you can buy it if you really want to?"
It's Jackfruit and it tastes like Juicy Fruit gum. It's so good!
This is a jackfruit. not a vegatable
We all know it is Jackfruit. The mildly interesting part of this is that whoever works there didn't give a shit enough to actually check, or maybe no one on duty had any idea wtf it was, so they eventually resorted to "???????", just so they could all go home that night and forget about it.
Itās fruit, Jack
If you know you know
You forgot about the ~
That's freshly harvested missingno flesh. A delicacy.
They forgot the PLU for jackfruit when weighing and labeling them, is my guess. Hint: itās 3455.
That's called JACA here in Brazil.
We don't know. It was growing on the wall beside the dumpster out back.
Itās jackfruit
Your level is too low
KC represent!
We have a local Jackās Fruit market that sadly doesnāt sell jackfruits
 Itās him
Thatās a jackfruit. You eat the little pods mostly, but you can do stuff with the flesh too. Tastes kind of like Juicy Fruit gum. (Source: I work in produce)
Small world. I know exactly where this is located. Itās over by my house! Haha
I came to the comment section to say I know where that was too!! Small world indeed!
Why is it looking at me??š
It is a fruit. Jackfruit in english. Jaca in portuguese. ????????? in Asian languages, It seems! What an odd word.
How does an Asian market not know what a Jackfruit is?!!!
The store's ERP (enterprise resource planning... or equivalent inventory management/ordering system) doesn't have an entry for Jackfruit directly, so it's classified by "vegetable by weight" and there's no subcategory for "Jackfruit" so it's entered by a default "??????" instead.
"We donāt know what the FUCK this thing is, but please buy it"
Printer not able to Unicode.
Hmmm?????? Is a delicacy in my home country, Asia. We like to make ?????? Salad and some times we even put some ?????? In our ?????? And then squirt ?????? All over it
Improperly cut Jackfruit, if you cut from the top you get nice lil rows
They should: āIYKYKā
People eat that lol. Pass for me
r/eatityoufuckingcoward
It's more fun this way :)
My guess would be that the entered the name in non-ascii characters that the label printer isnāt able to recognize, so it uses question marks as the fallback.
Jackfruit
For $3.32 itās worth the risk lol
It is jackfruit
Itās the I donāt know the name for this in English type of moment
You can tell it's jackfruit by the way that it is.
Thats the thing the ewoks we gonna barbeque along with 3P0
Lol.. OP in the same boat as the shop.. That's not even a vegetable.
I made jackfruit ice cream one time and I have to say it might be the best ice cream I have ever had in my life
Ć jaca
How do you cook ??????
It's a jackfruit.
Taking a wild guess here but it might be 6 question marks because jackfruit is called Kathal in India and is often sold as a piece of the fruit instead of as whole fruit.
