A huge Jackfruit at Tops today.

Rice informed me that the Issan name for Jackfruit is Buck mee. Funny that, that is what I said when I saw it.
Rice is better versed in Thai than I will ever be, but I have always understood the fruit in question (which like Durian, I despise) to be called khanoon. Like most things in Thailand there are several names and Buck mee is no doubt what some local Isaanites call it . My daughter just called it a khanoon when I showed her the picture
