Jackfruit, not yet ripe and straight off the tree +
Cassia leaves (which are good bush medicine when used to treat ulcers)
+ diced potatoes, ginger, whole spices such as brown cardamom, cinnamon, ground cumin and coriander
= one, nutritious, strengthening curry Bengali style.
Red Bull might give you wings but I eat this and it puts hairs on my chest.
(Which, of course, I promptly remove as we're all smooth chested down this way).
Eating this dish makes me want to fill out my tax return form.
For a sweet tooth, you can puree the flesh of the jackfruit, add a little sugar and roll out to dry on mats in the sun.
Moves extremely well with a dash of aguardiente.
Gotta love a multicultural city.

I really like the picture of the jackfruit. I don't know what it is, or what it tastes like, but you have found a good angle to photograph it.
