Speaking of interesting textures and patterns, these gargantuan jackfruits I saw at 99 Ranch Market in Van Nuys were amazing. I was almost expecting baby monsters to hatch from them. The texture of the skin reminds me a bit of the lychees I bought there and have been gorging on for the past hour. (Jackfruit inspector's face obscured for privacy.) Video: how to eat a jackfruit.
