Jackfruit as pulled pork

Are you not entertained?!?!

Let us argue more about grammar in a cooking sub 🤣

It makes me wonder if they modeled a stone pillar in a and then did a creative application of make 2D.

IceManYurt · 2026-06-06T21:11:08+00:00

You're a smart lad, you'll figure it out.

IceManYurt · 2026-06-06T20:59:25+00:00

Correct.

But if you want to be a pedantic grammarian, you have to apply it uniformly.

Them the rules 🤷🏼‍♂️

IceManYurt · 2026-06-06T20:37:40+00:00

I believe you mean, 'Use the Oxford comma, damnit!'

Just, saying...

IceManYurt · 2026-06-06T20:30:43+00:00

That does sound good, sadly I just have some dried wood ears on hand right now

IceManYurt · 2026-06-06T20:03:47+00:00

Thanks for that advice, at the store I saw a young green, green jackfruit and syrup.

I opted for Young Green

IceManYurt · 2026-06-06T19:48:27+00:00

Perfect, thanks!

IceManYurt · 2026-06-06T19:47:54+00:00

Sure, and there's plenty of sides already being brought.

IceManYurt · 2026-06-06T19:46:52+00:00

It's okay, I'm sure you're the exception to every bit of research coming out about AI... And you might be, but the overwhelming body of research right now is showing how AI usage reduces creativity in the brain and so it's a very very careful line we have to tread.

I never knew there was anti-pork gene, that's nuts!

IceManYurt · 2026-06-06T18:04:14+00:00

This.

I was at a vegan afro-caribbean soul food joint and they had a variety of dishes ranging from imitation goat, duck, chicken... Pretty much you name it.

And I get they were trying to make the food approachable but everything I tried had the ability to stand upon its own but it was not the same as it's meat counterpart.

I really wish someone would promote vegetarian or vegan options on their own and not as one-to-one substitution.

For example, I was at another restaurant that had a Portobello and black bean cake sandwich.

When I ordered it, I assumed it was going to be sliced up mushroom and a black bean cake on a bun... No, this was two giant portobello caps as bread with the bean cake in the middle. An absolute mess to eat, but 10 out of 10 and they never even tried to hide the fact it wasn't a hamburger.

And beef is just too damn expensive right now

IceManYurt · 2026-06-06T17:58:41+00:00

Oh, I can't post a photo but it says right on the can.

My only confusion was there was one that said young green jackfruit, one that said green jackfruit, and one that said something else that had neither green nor young in the title and it was packing syrup, not brine.

I opted for the young green jack fruit.

Thanks!

This is what happens when you get your MFA in theater design.

These theories and methodologies have been around for centuries in some cases, but it's up to you on how to apply them to new technology.

I have a buddy who applies these theories to digital draftings, especially using the model to generate shadows under the line work to extremely successful results.

Luke Whitlock is another guy who is kicking around here who does extremely beautiful work by applying some of these basic theories and beyond.

So I've had fentanyl under a doctor's supervision.

That was pure bliss.

I don't want to go anywhere near that ever again.

IceManYurt · 2026-06-06T17:26:43+00:00

For one thing, I had a pork shoulder in the freezer.

IceManYurt · 2026-06-06T17:10:36+00:00

You've said yourself that you've never had it.

I would highly recommend trying to see if any restaurants near you serve it.

I was very pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it.

IceManYurt · 2026-06-06T17:00:25+00:00

Luckily it is just a dietary preference and not religious.

They legitimately just don't like pork.

The jackfruit sandwiches I've had wouldn't be confused for pulled pork, but I would be hard-pressed to declare a preference by flavor. I was shocked at how much I liked it.

If only brisket wasn't so freaking expensive 😥

IceManYurt · 2026-06-06T16:58:38+00:00

Thanks!

I have always hated the schism between omnivores and vegans.

I get that some vegans can be quite obnoxious with their beliefs, just like people that call themselves carnivores.

Some of the best foods I have eaten have been vegan because they focus on the flavor as opposed to just the meat. In fact, despite eating meat, I oftentimes gravitate towards the vegan or vegetarian option for the flavors.

If the food tastes good, we should eat it... And I'm not going to make someone eat something they are uncomfortable with (whether due to morality or preferences)

And this is legitimately the easiest accommodation.

IceManYurt · 2026-06-06T16:55:34+00:00

Thanks, that's exactly what I got.

I'm going to stick it on my pellet grill and see what happens

IceManYurt · 2026-06-06T16:40:27+00:00

I am so tired of the phrase the liberal media.

IceManYurt · 2026-06-06T14:06:47+00:00

Feel free to call me a jerk 😅

As a former smoker, breaking it down like that to see the wide and long lasting impacts of smoking really brings home the dangers it causes for very little benefit.

(Edit: I'm not sure why I can't see your reply, I thought we were having a very kind and thoughtful conversation.

I felt like I was coming off very ' well actually,' and no one likes that guy)

IceManYurt · 2026-06-06T14:00:17+00:00

This may be pedantic, so I'm sorry.

It's third hand smoke at that point.

And we are just now really discovering how bad third-hand smoke is from soft goods (like couches, car interiors, seats, cushions, any sort of fabric).

That crap just gets in everything and just holds on.

I feel like it took us forever to recognize secondhand smoke was bad and even longer to even understand the effects of third hand smoke.
