I believe that’s from The Mighty Boosh!

That’s the punchline I learned too, definitely hits harder imo.

It’s only popular (afaik) in America as a meat substitute, not because it’s “fruit.” Vegetarians don’t care what part of the fruit it comes from as long as it’s serving its purpose, and I can’t imagine anyone being upset when they find out there’s a sweet part to it too. I guess the word “ploy” just implies, like, a conspiracy or something to me and I can’t imagine who would perpetrate something so banal. Can’t be the jackfruit producers/distributors, they could only benefit from more people knowing more about their product.

Lemon (and/or lime) makes almost everything better when utilized properly, spicy sausage with lemon ricotta for example. I bet you could make a ridiculously delicious pizza with preserved lemon too. Lime would pair well with Mexican-inspired or Asian-inspired pizzas.

I don’t think it’s a marketing ploy, it’s just not explained in great detail on the can where exactly it comes from. It’s not like anyone could possibly benefit from people not knowing what jackfruit is.

Apple and bleu cheese is one of the greatest combos known to the human palate. Would be great on a pizza with something really savory to balance.

People put American cheese on goddam apple pie for Christ’s sake, apple on a pizza sounds waaaay better.

How could selling something you naturally produce be a scam? I can see how easily you could get ripped off on the price, but in the end you’re still making money and automatically replacing the plasma lost. Even if they’re not actually using the plasma for their stated purpose, I’d still argue the donator is not the one getting scammed. I guess it really comes down to your definition of “scam”.

You’re pronk of order!

So good.

Heuristic.

That’s subjective. It’s good for me!

Oh, ok good!

That I don’t have precognition? Ok good, glad I could help you make that point! In the future, you can just assume everyone you meet lacks precognition, because it’s not real. I know that sounds almost like it’s own form of precognition, but it’s not, it’s just good reasoning.

Yes, because to refer to it in any other way would have required precognition, which I unfortunately lack. My bad?

Your original post tells us to pronounce it the way she says it, but doesn’t actually show us how she says it.

Because I’m not her. You figured it out and found a video on your own, you clearly didn’t need me. Why would I know better than her how to pronounce it?

How did you expect us to pronounce it correctly if we haven’t heard her say it?

I didn’t. I presumed that if someone cared enough, they would find an appropriate video; that presumption was proven correct. But I never expected anyone to do anything, certainly not to get so incredibly butt-hurt by mild sarcasm.

I never said I did.
