####Q: How do flavors get put on the schedule?
####A: Requests and suggestions from people like YOU!
If there's something you'd like to see, just post a request in this thread. You can request both a specific flavor profile and where it lands on the calendar.
TPA Jackfruit is a pretty nice flavor. WF Starfruit has been an obsession of mine lately, it's SO juicy + fairly neutral in a mix. I've been using it wherever I'd normally reach for pear, cactus etc + have been loving the results.
What’s your favourite recipe with one of these as the main note?
despite not being a big cactus fan, I quite enjoy BAER'S Desert Nectar which uses 5% TPA Jackfruit. it's not really a main note but plays a big role in the recipe! as for WF Starfruit, I actually never tried it until I started mixing with it! it's AMAZING in lemonades to add juicy depth + to help smooth out the lemon a bit, which can sometimes be a bit harsh or irritating for me to vape on all day. This recipe isn't finished yet, but our convo about WF Summertime Lemonade actually inspired this Lavender Lemonade recipe of mine. I hope to release it publicly soon, I'm waiting on a restock of CAP Hibiscus.
I’ll play and post a selfless plug Jack my Guanabana Guava because /u/isumadog‘s barber says so
TFA Jackfruit is the only jackfruit. I want you guys to compare it to VT Jackfruit. VT does a lot of things right and I have heard about their jackfruit being very nice. Otherwise I’ll stick with TFA
What the fuck is snakefruit, Dave?
Not sure, but I think it's the fruit that Eve shared with Adam. Or maybe it's this.
You can make wine out of it and that’s all I needed to know.
I am not sure if I missed the exotic fruits live stream or is that happening today? It says rice on the FOTW schedule, either way looking forward to the stream, thank you to everyone who contributes to make this happen. Keep up the great work!
I don’t have any of the three posted but I have been meaning to get a jackfruit. It’s in one of my favorite commercial liquids that I’ve been wanting to put together but I did grab a few of the vanilla’s from last week just came in can’t wait to try. Thanks for what y’all do for all us pennie pinchers
I think frosting would be a good episode! As far as Jack/snake fruits I’ve never tried mixing with them. I don’t own any. I’ve never eaten eaten them either. They do sound interesting and I have an idea on how I’d use it. Maybe I’ll win so I can try some. After watching Sam,Daniel and Advocate last night, I’m definitely interested!
