Its actually insane how much the jackfruit mimics meat. I am planning on seeing if I can trick some of my non-vegan friends into thinking its actually pork or chicken. I made a trip to my local H-Mart (Asian supermarket) to find this, but I bet some regular grocery stores in larger areas would have it in their Asian food section. If you do have to make a special trip, its worth it to stock up since they only run about $1.50 per can. My husband knew it wasn't meat, because well, duh... but I really think it could pass. Jackfruit tastes like nothing, pulls like braised meat would, and it takes on flavour really well. My next experiment will be a Southwest pulled "chicken" type thing. Stay posted. For now, try out these sandwiches! They're delicious!
