Watch out America!
Apparently VietNam is in the process of sending boatloads of Jackfruit to the states!
We took a fabulous cooking class yesterday, and while in the market our chef bought some jackfruit to taste.
After already having horrible experiences with jackfruit in Bangladesh, I couldn't wait - and warned my travelmates accordingly. However, there must be something to better soil and care here in VietNam because they all found the fruit quite tasty!
But - just keep your eyes peeled, because jackfruit should be appearing in your own friendly market!
The class was wonderful, and I've linked the recipes on the blog so you can cook along!
We left HaNoi last night, and arrived in Hue (Way) this morning. We have a great hotel with internet in the room! We are going to see the Imperial Palace and ride down the river to view the tombs this afternoon. We have a bit of rain, so should be an interesting day. The local people just spread that poncho over their whole scooter and keep on going - so we'll keep to the local custom.
