Jack Fruit---the Yummiest Fruit I've Had - Wine-Knows Travel

English: An opened Jack Fruit or Artocarpus heterophyllus (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Read the entire post with photos: Wine-Knows: Fine Wine & Gourmet Food Journeys for the Discerning Traveler: Jack Fruit---the Yummiest Fruit I've Had:

"So what is jack fruit?  The flavor is an addictively delicious symphony of pineapple, banana, mango and apple.  While the fruit is used in Vietnamese desserts such as puddings and cakes, I prefer the raw version where I can taste every one of its special notes.  Perfectly ripe jack fruit is like no other fruit you will ever taste.  The texture is also unusual---somewhat fibrous, it is an excellent source of dietary fiber ( as well as high in protein, potassium and vitamin B). Jack fruit is also the largest tree-borne fruit in the world growing up to a ginormous 80 lbs, and as much as a yard in length. "

"Here's a summary of la creme de la creme from our September trip. Superb quality/price wines have been so noted. ... "

The post above prompted me to upload some Halloween photos, costumes inspired by our 2 trips with the super duper folks at Wine-Knows Travel.  Too bad the resolution isn't better. I'm a bottle of Beychevelle, and Allan is a bottle of Beaucastel.

Sestri Levante: An Undiscovered Seaside Italian Gem

It's great to learn about Sestri Levante.  The photo on the Wine-Knows Travel blog is so lovely I want to go there!

It reminds me of past trips to nearby Cinque Terre, and walking the path through all five villages.

I'm A Big Fan of Wine-Knows Travel . . .

I love the folks at Wine-Knows Travel!

I'm big fans of theirs.  We've joined them on food & wine tours in 2005 (Avignon, Southern/Northern Rhone, Burgundy, Alsace, Champagne), and 2008 (Bordeaux, St. Emilion, through the Dordogne Valley to Colliure).  Both were great food and wine trips with lots of educational experiences.

I'm so pleased to see them launch their blog:   Wine-Knows: Fine Wine & Gourmet Food Journeys for the Discerning Traveler.

Check it out!
