Wrenchone, try a pinch rock salt added to about a glass of water, maybe with a little lemon juice, as a digestive aid.
Many varieties of digestive pills, called 'churan' are sold here, as also ginger and other candies.
I made turmeric candy, quite nice, good for digestion.
Simply wash, skin, slice, and dry in the shade for three days.
Fourth day, add sugar powder, let it dry a little more, then store.
Works for ginger too.
We get mango and other candies too. Rose petal jam is also sold.
An acquired taste, may be too sweet for some.

Hmm..., let me see... https://www.diyaudio.com/community/...-in-other-cultures.384926/page-5#post-6991597
Smell of Jackfruit and Durian, former is fruity, latter is doody.
We have a growing Jamaican community in southwest Vermont, jackfruit showed up about four years ago, various other tropical produce
also.
I keep looking for the Jamaican food truck to reappear, soon.....I hope.
Linda cannot wrap her head around pickled herring, I love it in dill or wine clear pickle, but I have never liked the sour cream version.
Gefilte fish in a jar is rather polarizing, but make it fresh, it's fish gnocchi, or deep fry, it's a fish cake.
Kind of like how canned wax or green beans are nothing like fresh or frozen(treated gently), but wierdly good as a separate substance.
also.

All I can think of at the moment is a delicious Mett bun made from freshly chopped raw pork with onions salt and pepper.
From holidays I know a kind of frog soup. In the big cooking Bowl was also one chicken head.
The matching feet
and a kind of ant salad
are also not entirely foreign to me. The latter wasn't bad either, but too spicy for my habits and required some mental effort on my part to eat it.

Feild milk.
A friend and I had a conversation and it was mentioned. A few days later I came home from work and there was a quart mason jar nestled in the grass by my door, I picked it up and opened it as my roommate (a vegetarian) asked "what's that?
I swig down about 1/3 of the thick sauce, and reply.
Goat milk, left in a feild.
His face curdled and he rolled off in his chair, while I finished it.
Nice gift, healthy too.

Are you sure? I remember a visiting professor from Italy who ate at McD almost everyday during the semester he was teaching at the college in the US. He did tell us that Big Mac was the go-to order.
Cal, the jackfruit in the bowl looks a little pale, might be natural variation.
If fully ripe, the taste is quite different from raw jackfruit, or that of the surrounding flesh.
The seeds from the ripe fruit can be dried and used.
@even, I have no idea about the state of ripening when you tasted the fruit.
In hot weather, it can go from ripe to rotten within a day.

Big Mac, there was a photo of one many years old without any sign of decay, apparently too many preservatives.
Might be fake by some interested group.
But factory prepared in hygienic surroundings.
How old was the Italian professor?
As it is, they contain high levels of fat.
He could have gone to a Pizza Hut, or a spaghetti / Italian place.
Odd, this liking for them.
A real life Jughead!
Jamaicans (and West Indians in general) use very hot bell peppers in their cooking, sometimes in cancer inducing quantities.
The cancer association is a bit disputed.
So if you are used to it, fine, otherwise go easy on the chilies.
If it hurts, roll back on the level.
Here, curd, buttermilk, and ghee are also consumed with chilli to reduce its harmful effects.

Besides taste which is acquired and personal, you need to have a strong Death Wish to eat raw pork in any form.
Steak Tartare went out of fashion after Mad Cow Disease.
Even sushi can be risky if the chef is not properly trained.
Cold meat (preserved / cold cured) is highly nutritious for infectious organisms, as is raw meat, take care.

Snakes, rats and others like monkeys during survival training would be a little off topic.
Pickled prawns, and tuna fish are an accompaniment to some South Indian cooking, there is even a mild, slightly sweet tuna pickle...
There is even a dried prawn preserve, quite strong smelling!

Andhra Style (very different from Goa and Kerala style)
