We like jackfruits fresh (well, they are ok but my wife loves them), it would be an interesting experiment but I think that is about how it will end with us - an experiment.Last edited by cftarnas; August 7, 2018, 06:57 PM.Comment

We’ve gotta jackfruit here in the Vietnam markets. I’ve only had it raw, has a bit of an aftertaste but is generally fruit like. I’d be interested in the mock pulled pork version,Comment

I've had "pulled pork style" jackfruit sliders. When the article says "it mimics the taste, texture and mouthfeel of pulled pork uncannily well", I don't think the author is talking about what most Pit Members here think of as pulled pork, which is smoked pork that may or may not have a touch of sauce (probably vinegar based) to complement the flavor of the meat. I believe he is talking about what a lot of people think of, which is pulled pork (more likely cooked in a slow cooker or oven than smoked) that has been drowned in a sweet, tangy bbq sauce to the point where all you taste is the sauce and have completely lost the flavor of the meat. The jackfruit slider that I had did indeed mimic this taste, but is nothing like pork butt off the smoker with a Memphis Meat Dust bark and a touch of Carolina-style sauce. That's not to say it doesn't taste good, especially for a vegetarian option (I had it at a wedding where the bride and some members of her family were vegetarian or vegan), but not all pulled pork is created equal, and the pulled pork that this mimics is definitely of the inferior variety.Comment
