terribly common where I live in Canada , so I always try to order them at Disney World . For me , the side dishes on this plate deserve just as much focus as the fish . It ’ s not a main with two sides ; it ’ s three excellent components making one delicious plate .
Last but not least is the roasted jackfruit pita wrap . Make sure you grab extra napkins with this one because it ’ s overflowing with veggie goodness . If you ’ ve never had roasted jackfruit before , it ’ s a little tough to describe . The “ meat ” of the fruit doesn ’ t have a very strong flavor , so it really takes on whatever seasonings and spices you add to it , and the slightly fibrous texture holds up well to cooking .
Jackfruit is a popular ingredient in many meatalternative dishes since it doesn ’ t completely break down when cooked and absorbs other flavors so well . If you are vegetarian or vegan , you ’ ve probably encountered jackfruit in meatless burger patties or as a substitute for pulled pork . As an omnivore myself , it never quite replaces the real thing , but of the many meat alternatives out there , I do find jackfruit to be one of the most versatile options .
KEVIN , RUSSELL , AND DUG
BY TRISHA DAAB
Where to meet Russell , Dug , and Kevin : Head over to the Wilderness Explorers Clubhouse on Discovery Island at Animal Kingdom , where you ’ ll find Russell and Dug hanging together in their explorer gear , ready for photos , autographs , and friendly hugs .
Kevin is unique and wanders around the Discovery Island area , often near the Clubhouse . She is a free spirit : She doesn ’ t stop for photos , do autographs , or give hugs . But she ’ s tall and has lots of colors .
When meeting Russell and Dug : Check out the amazing details in the Clubhouse . Can you spot Russell ’ s wagon ? All his badges ? Pay attention in line too for the inventions to interact with , including Dug ’ s talking collar .
Not sure what to say ? Ask Russell about his favorite badges . Or if they have seen Kevin . They get very excited when she ’ s around .
Beyond the autograph book : The Wilderness Explorers Handbook from the Wilderness Explorers program is a great place for Russell and Dug autographs . There are blank pages in the Field Journal section , and Dug ’ s autograph with the pawprint is a great addition to the back cover .
Fun fact : Did you miss meeting Kevin ? Look for a Disney PhotoPass photographer around Discovery Island and ask if they have the Kevin Magic Shot .
