You look worse than you taste OP.
You taste fucking yum. Never apologise for your looks, you are beautiful.

calm down fedora

My Viet gf once said "hold your nose and try this" when presenting durian. She had not taken into account that my government issued childhood had left me completely incapable of passing negative judgment on any food placed in front of me under orders. But the fruit in OP's pic is jackfruit which is objectively fucking heavenly on all accounts.

PSA: that's a jackfruit, not a durian. Still smells bad, but tastes delicious.

Isn't this meat-texture substitute heaven for veGANS?

>>10893707
you can get jackfruit in brine and it's supposed to be a meat substitute. otherwise it's very sweet.

>takes forever to open
>takes forever to harvest all the fruit
>is a million dollars at the store (if you can find it)
>does NOT taste sweet. Tastes like wrigleys chewing gum.
>is a dry, rubbery texture

Are you memeing or was my fruit not ripe or something?

>>10893819
i mean yeah your first three points are pretty accurate. that's why canned is easier, but you sacrifice freshness of course. i don't know why you didn't think it was sweet though. juicy fruit gum is sweet.

>>10893833
Well is it supposed to be dry? There almost no juice in these fucking pods

Ok, jackfruit is a very picky fruit.
1. it doesn't taste good outside of southeast asia.
2. unless you're asian, you probably won't pick a good one
3. if it's not good, you can cook it in chili, soup, curry. etc. when you cook a dry, unsweet jackfruit, it has a texture like potato.
4. good, ripe, sweet, juicy jackfruit is amazing beyond belief, i ate one yesterday and it was subperb

but once again, unless you live in southeast asia, you probably never had a good jackfruit.

>brainwashed
Tell us about your beliefs please.

>>10893338
Have you smelled one in person? I worked with a woman who brought one in and froze it (to reduce the smell) and brought it around for anyone who wanted to try some. I was curious but not curious enough.

>>10894167
Damn. I thought this was durian too. My bad.

>>10894167
It’s not durian.

Jackfruit and Soursop cure cancer.

Yours was probably not ripe. You can tell if its ready by the smell. Should have a "juicy fruit" gum smell. Too ripe and it gets stringy though.

Although, I've been tricked a few times, it's the only somewhat reliable method I've been able to discern.

>>10893338
I've bought it frozen in Wisconsin a few times and it has tasted great. I'd pick up a fresh one in an instant if I knew where to find one for less than $50.

Humans did cultivated to engineer or invent modern day fruits and vegetables.

You are a fucking mong. The objectively worst fruit ever is dragonfruit. Nothing but a watery let down.

>>10895439
dragonfruit is fine, the problem is if you buy it in 'murica they're like $6 each

if they charged $6 for an out-of-season apple I guarantee people would get pissy about those too

I've always been one to dog dragon fruit, but I've always had the white ones in America. I just had the red ones in Vietnam, and while I still wouldn't pay $5/fruit, it was pleasant. Almost like a cross between a strawberry and a watermelon.

>>10895439
Dragon fruit is what Larry David called a 'low percentage fruit'. They can be great but most of the time they're not.

Fight. They fight cancer. It's patient specific how well treatment goes.

I've long since given up buying whole or even cut jakka.
Or even cleaned, for that matter. I buy it frozen because canned is too sweet for me. 250G for $2 ain't bad. Only problem is I miss the seeds. You boil or roast them and they're delicious.

>>10893338
i once used it to make vegan pulled pork and took it to a BBQ competition. i won 1st place and when i went up to accept my award i derided to give a speech and told everyone it was vegan. all those redneck losers started crying as they threw their MAGA hats on the ground and then demanded i be disqualified. um sorry honey i won fair and square unlike youre precious drumf!

tastes like juicy fruit.

That's not a Kiwi

>>10893407
I am fucking glad I am not you and that you are not my child.

I mean... Its grown in certain parts of America (the continent). Its even grown in Mexico (and florida) some times. Its juicy but the pulp has fiber that gets in the way all the time. It smells a bit like cheese but its nothing to be mad about (or as unreasonably mad like some people her are complaining about). Its a very complex sweet fruit and it can taste like bananas, melon, mango and bubblegum at the same time. I cant understand how people fry them and say its a savory replacement for meat since it just doesnt taste like it would be a good substitute.

I love when its made into gelatto (nieve de garrafa) :)
