What other fruit ( pineapple is wellknown ) would tast good on a pizza? That was the question i asked during lunch at school. The results off that class…
Passionfruit, watermelon and Strawberry were the favorite ones to be tasted.
Bad idee was kiwi, apple and cherrys.

What do you think?

    Its a ploy in that people assume they are eating fruit and not some kind of pulp that’s next to the actual fruit. Jackfruit rags don’t sound too tasty so they leave it out purposefully. I understand but wouldn’t mind if they invented another word to use so if I actually serve jackfruit fruit to people it’s not weird for them by how different it is from the rags.

    I still think it’s strange that the seeds aren’t also marketed as edible. Its kinda like potato once boiled so I guess potatoes are just easier to use in a large scale.

      It’s only popular (afaik) in America as a meat substitute, not because it’s “fruit.” Vegetarians don’t care what part of the fruit it comes from as long as it’s serving its purpose, and I can’t imagine anyone being upset when they find out there’s a sweet part to it too. I guess the word “ploy” just implies, like, a conspiracy or something to me and I can’t imagine who would perpetrate something so banal. Can’t be the jackfruit producers/distributors, they could only benefit from more people knowing more about their product.
