If you couldn’t find Jerusalem artichokes for J, but just happened to have a can of Green Jackfruit, what would you do with it?
a) Eat the canned green Jackfruit as is
b) Make a Mauritanian dish your children probably won’t go near
c) Try it in a curry your children AND husband probably won’t go near
d) Definitely go with the curry so you don’t have to share
e) The recipe I have left for you in the comments below.
Feel free to leave your answer in the poll in the frame on the right.
