Need A Little Help from the Low Land Lao ARTOCURPAS HETEROPHYLLUS Eating Experts

[Her Lao]

Artocurpas Heterophyllus, of course, is "Jackfruit."

And don't take offense to the usage of its formal/scientific name. I didn't know it, either, until I looked it up.

Anyway, I ate a piece tonight, and now my fingers and palms are sticky as hell, even after a few rounds of washing using BOTH normal dish washing soap AND A-jax powder!

How the hell do you get rid of the sticky, syrapy glue substance?

And for the budding scientific student or chemist: do some research and find out if you could isolate the MOLECULAR COMPOUND for this sticky sap/sugar and make it into a SUPER GLUE product!

I am serious here... this stuff has the strength of super-glue but its flexibility, its fluidity, its VISCOSITY stickiness go way beyond the property of super-glue, which fails to work exposed to H20... but this Jackfruit sugary, glooey substance IS NOT neutralized by H20.

There must be tons of applications for this highly viscose-like molecular compound, surely! My keyboard is all sticky now, from my fingers!

This is funny, too, but it is also a seriously fuckin' determined glooey sugary compound we're dealing with here, in a scientific manner!

Of course, I wore them AFTERWARD! How the hell was I supposed to know you couldn't easily wash the super sap off of your hands or fingers, like any other normal sugary substances that are usually washed off with pure water or with dish washing soap?

As I said, I don't remember eating much of it, back in Laos, as a poor shoeless kid who hardly venture into your sophisticated towns and cities!

Anyway, some guy told me WD40 or Baking Soda powder would do it.... I think next time I'll use the baking soda powder... using strong chemicals like WD40 may be a bit of an overkill...

hahaahhh jackfruit/Mak Mee, yeah it's super sticky, even better than super-glue, cuz it's not dried out that fast like super glue.

i remember used to use it to catch the cicada (cigale in French) on the tree to make Jiew-Jakjan when i was young boy...

to get rid of it just use fresh lard (pig fatty) rubbib on the spot, no need of expensive chemical.

enjoy the fruit

Mak MeeIS MY FAVORITE JUST DON'T CUT THAT THURIAN NEAR ME. THEY SAY TASTS WONDERFUL but i rather pass it NEVEREVER grow thurian in my farm.

Thourian (durian) is the best fruit on earth, only its smell is too strong for some ones, who can't stand it.

it's like the saying 'no pain no gain', with food, it's 'no smell no yummy'.

the secret part is that you have to know to pick the right one at the right moment to try it for the first time, meaning taking the one that's not too young and not too ripe, then after that you'll try to find this smelly fruit anywhere at any price... it's good and delicious to eat this wonderful fruit beyong describing in words... don't listen to that inexperience eater Andrew Zimmern guy.

i love thourian, the fruit that i used to hate when i was youn boy.

I don't know the difference between a "jackfruit" and a "durian," if they are indeed different fruits....

But in this food review article in the NY Times, I thought the picture was of a Jackfruit; yet he called it "durian" fruit.

Anyway, it's either this article, or another one --- but I remember as a NY Times food review article a couple years back that I read it --- when the author, a white/American food critic, said pretty much the same thing:

that the "durian" fruit, once you moved past its rotten smell, and actually get to eat the fruit, that it is "the best fruit in the world."

Usually, when a major food critic --- a white one at that --- said something like that, it is likely to carry some serious consideration as being an accurate description. "The best fruit," of course, is a PERSONAL, subjective phrase, so we call could argue; but again, most food reviewers are knowledgeable, because they are able to taste so many different kinds of foods and fruits and vegetables...

TAST WISE DURIAN IS WAY BETTER BUT SMELL WISE DURIAN IS LIKE A PILE OF DOG THROW-UP I SURRENDERED EATING DURIAN WHILE MAKMEE IS STILL MY FAVOR. TIP FRY THE NUTS. THEY ARE WONDERFUL just as EXTRA HUGE PEANUT or better. DURIAN IS A CRIME TO CUT OPEN IN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IN THAILAND I HEARD RUMOR FROM MAKMEE TREES WISPERINGS 2 EACH OTHER.
