About Me

I've enjoyed it most when frozen, so the shake is probably a good idea. Ben's cousin and his girlfriend got a frozen hunk ( I think the fruit is a giant pod and has 4 sections or something), in a kind if cylindrical shape from Vim Phat and served it up in frozen slices like ice cream. I loved it! But a couple days later they gave me some durian candy and it was really nastels, smelled like onions. I think having the fruit be cold mutes the scent somewhat, but it has a great texture, and a creaminess that I love. And the muted version of the smell is really appealing.

I work with a Filipino couple who give me a little piece of Durian from time to time, when they buy one. The fruit is very large, and very expensive. It has a green, prickly, outerspace looking "shell". You cut into it and inside are lobes of custard like fruit. They are extremely stinky. When they brought a whole Durian here to work, even though the mansion is 10 thousand sq. ft. and 3 floors, you could smell it everywhere. It's a sickening smell, like something decaying. The fruit is really rich. A few teaspoons full was all I wanted, even though I enjoyed the taste. The texture is great, like Michele says. It is the best part of the experience I think. Cold would be a great idea. You just don't want to buy a whole one, because it's like $40 and unless you have a lot of people to feed, you will just end up throwing it out. Eating too much of it made me feel kinda sick. Very rich stuff!

You can find it at most of the Asian markets. I have also bought Durian popsicles before.

The durian is the absolute favorite of Malaysians. When I was there as an exchange student, my family would take special excursions to the country just to get them and would chop them and eat them on the spot. It was an on-going joke to try to get me to try it, but I just couldn't. I tried chicken hearts, but I couldn't bring myself to eat that shit. It smells like death. They are not allowed on planes, so when I returned home I brought it in waffer candy form. But you can get them in Asian markets here.
Oh, that was me, Brew.
the times had an article about a scientist breeding an odor free durian and how everyone is tripping on that because the stink is such a part of the experience.
I like it, but I had to eat a hell of a lot of it to be nice because parent's friends are Thai. I guess I acquired a taste for it.

There was a sing at a hotel I stayed at in Thailand saying "No prostitutes and no durians."

So where did you end up then (jk jk)?

He went back to his homeland, Duria.
