NO DURIANS! -And look at the fines!

Who described them as tasting like hot garbage? They certainly smell like it.

Them's some fines! They don't mess around with those things. And, um, what's a Durian? And why are they so bad?

Durian -
When you walk passed someone with an open Durian, the smell is like - well, how do I say this.... imagine you're in bangkok, at the hottest and most humid time of the day and you're standing next to one of the open sewers.... take a nice long sniff of that goodness and there you have the wonderful Durian fruit. btw I haven't tried it yet - I know, you're shocked. -Dave

Grandma says they Taste delicious- like little grapes inside but you have to have a native peel them because they smell so bad. She wishes you could send that heat over here- she is tired of the snow in Spokane. Remember to go to the old hotel- Raffles- for a Singapore Sling (cocktail) and the "midnight show in the alley"??? We had a great dinner but missed you so talked about you behind your back! Anita

Sarah wants me to tell you that she saw some Food Network show about durians. They kind of look like pufferfish.

I personally think it's a great way of insulting someone who is unfamiliar with this pinnacle of olafactory offensiveness.

Try them, they don't taste half as bad as they smell, Anthony Bourdain loves them...although he will eat anything. I've always heard them described as half feces/half rotting meat. Sound appetizing? I had some while in Thailand, wasn't too bad, don't know that I would search them out though!
