Currently the best shot I can find of a jackfruit - not much of the outside to be seen, I'm afraid.

That's me cutting it up. Photo by ~conskeptical

My friends *aegiandyad have a good shot of the outside of some jackfruit: http://aegiandyad.deviantart.com/art/East-End-Market-Jackfruit-146199268

You're looking serious, as if telling the fruit that "This is the T-time, guys, life's tough, I am sure I will make the best out of it."

I see these things constantly on my way between work and Liverpool Street but never known what to do with them. Apart from the challenge of actually carrying one home.

Eat them! Yum... :)

You definitely need to share them with several other people, and even then you'll have to keep half of it in the fridge for a day or two. You need to know what to do with the various bits - sometime maybe I should show you.

Raw or cooked? I've seen curry recipes, but they appear to deal with canned fruit, which seems a pity. And how long do you boil the seeds?

The flesh comes in two varieties. There's a softer, yellower, less stringy pocket about 5-8mm thick around each seed. This is very nice eaten raw, once the fruit is ripe. In between these pockets, there's stringy material that oozes sticky sap when cut, linking the core (woody and inedible) with the skin. The stringy material can be curried, but it's not really worth it unless you're starving. Soggy newspapers would probably be nicer. The sap congeals, given half a chance, to something akin to chewing gum.

Unripe, the whole of the pockets and stringy stuff can be curried together, apparently. I've never had it.

The seeds are best boiled for twenty minutes or so. They're eatable raw, but not very nice, possibly tummy achey, and definitely hard to peel. Too long, and they go mushy inside their plasticky shells.

You need a long, sharp knife to cut the thing - and oil its blade with cooking oil, and keep it oiled. Otherwise the gooey sap just glues the knife to everything in sight.
