Which exotic fruit is known for its taste that resembles smoked meat?

Jackfruit

The jackfruit is the largest fruit to grow on a tree, sometimes reaching up to 35 kg (about 77 lbs). Its fibrous flesh and ability to absorb flavors make it a popular meat substitute in vegetarian and vegan cuisines, especially when it is young and unripe. In cooking, it is often used in barbecues or in stewed dishes where it remarkably mimics the texture of smoked meat. Originating from India, jackfruit is now cultivated throughout Southeast Asia and has become a key ingredient in many traditional and modern dishes.
