Topic: Salad
It is very hard to find fresh jackfruit here in Kuwait, I stayed here for more than 3 years but I did not able to see even one of it. I was very hesitant to buy the canned one because aside from being canned I wasn't sure if it taste good but not today, I did not hesitate to buy it when we bought our grocery stuffs last 2 weeks ago because the picture in the label was very tempting, however it still stayed in the kitchen cabinet for almost 2 weeks, it seems that I was not interested on it anymore. Yesterday, we ran out of fresh vegetables,so it's time for the canned and frozen stuffs, I decided to open the canned jackfruit and try how does it taste, I made it into salad and my husband was the first one to taste it and he said it tasted almost the same with the fresh one, I tried it and yes it's almost 75% the same, 75% only because nothing beats the fresh one.
