Durians

I've had durian flavored candies, which i thought were delicious. They appeared to have the smell aspect removed. My mother, who lived in bali for years, said the candies pale in comparison to the real thing, which she said was tantamount to having an LSD explosion of taste in your mouth while sitting on a pile of garbage

now that i'll endorse.

 

I completely agree, I think they are about as close as a fruit gets to being mystical. They're pretty erotic too, somehow.

 

edit: and lol at mom comparing something to an LSD explosion

Does it smell of pussy? If it smells of pussy I'll definetly eat it.

 

Yes, it smells like the vagina of a woman who's been dead for 3 days.

However, it tastes like the vagina of one of the promised 72.

It's really hard to find a good one outside of Asia, as they have to be eaten at just the right moment, and picking them green and shipping them doesn't always work out so well.

 

What happens is at some point the spiky fruit pod actually splits open and the fleshy fruit inside starts to ferment. When I lived in Indonesia for a year, they actually preferred the more fermented fruit; it has some alcohol content and is really funky and intense (in fact the legend there has it that the best, most expensive durian is durian that has been eaten by an elephant, passed through its digestive tract, and then collected once it comes out the other end). The more aged durian is definitely an acquired taste and stinks to high heaven; the flesh of the fruit is very soft.

 

However, you can get more mellow and fruity durian too. I just had an amazing one the other night that was rather expensive for China, about $29. The smell was fairly mild by durian standards, and the flesh was pretty firm with custardy insides, no real fermentation to speak of. It was a durian that I'll wager would make even the most hardened anti-Durianite reconsider his position.

Thats a pretty epic argument for Durian there, at least I won't bother trying one unless I'm on the Asian continent now though. Sounds like a big enough risk trying the thing anyway, let alone hearing from a source that it's not that great from outside Asia.

i think you can get good durian outside of Asia (after all a lot of the durian in China is imported from places like Thailand, anyway), however the best way is probably to befriend an Asian who likes durian and get them to hook you up.

I have many Asian friends but have never heard them mention this, some of them run a contintental supermarket round the corner from me, they are bound to hook me up. Also, it's amazing how many people don't know what a Lychee is.
