Saw a can of jackfruit at the store yesterday.
Never tried it.
What to do with it, if I feel adventurous?

Green or ripe? You can get it canned either way.

You can put it in a bowl and eat it. A better option would be to buy a can/bottle of halo-halo mix. That will have a whole bunch of stuff you probably never tried. Stuff like palm fruit, jackfruit, coconut jell, and various beans. It's a freaking adventure in a can!

If you have a sizable Filipino population in your area, you might find halo-halo mix in the market.

My daughter got one of these. I've never had one. It looks like a fireball.

What does it taste like? Is it similar to anything I might know?

I've never had dragonfruit before. I'll let you know.

I've had a bottle of halo-halo mix in my fridge for about a year. It was time to dig it out and open it up. I put the mix on some shave ice with condensed milk. There was jackfruit, sugar palm fruit, nata de coco, and beans. Tasty!

I looked up canned jackfruit. The internet is chock full of *vegan*
recipes using canned green and/or canned ripe jackfruit. None of it
sounds terribly adventurous or interesting. YMMV.

Have you even tasted it? You can always open the can, taste the fruit
then put the rest in a storage container in the refrigerator until you
decide what to do with it.

I cooked up some breadfruit yesterday. Breadfruit is in the same family as jackfruit and can be used in the same way. I made a sweet/spicy dish with it. The breadfruit yields a lot of product so I have to figure out what to do with the rest. I could make a curry type dish or perhaps a cheesy breadfruit pie. The amazing thing is that just one of these fruits could feed a single hungry Samoan.
