Visiting Grandparents' in summer where magically a huge Jackfruit appears for the kids to get their oil-soaked hands dirty, and pluck the bulbs from the innards, and douse them with Ghee (Clarified butter) and eat dozens of them till your stomach hurts is a passage of rite for many kids in Southern India (atleast in the 80s). And add to scorching summer heat by toasting the seeds in open fire and peel the skin of the seeds and eat even more of it, makes me long for the fruit (and the innocence).
