People from the Konkan. Jackfruit isn't merely a fruit; it's a nostalgic journey back to childhood memories. It brings back the recollection of family evening affairs of cleaning the βPhanasβ which was itself an event and then eating. We looked forward to that all summer. The raw jackfruit was carefully lowered from the tree. This was then chopped into large quarters and distributed among family. With well-oiled hands we used to pull out the fleshy pods and seeds. The rest was cattle feed. However, the not-so-memorable part involved removing the sticky residue from our fingers. And we also make bhakri and jackfruit seed - fish π€€ it's yummy really. One more thing I remember smell of this fruit is so stong that the cattle can smell it from far, they come running π and also fight. Nostalgia π
