 Posted: 11/04/03 - 02:53 Post subject: Here's what I had for late night supper:
 Durian...a spiky fruit with an odor repulsive to some but delicious to others. It's a popular fruit in Southeast Asia including Singapore. Got mine from a Canadian Chinese supermarket and it tasted so good having not eaten it in years...Care for some (if you dare)?
Want to know more?

Looks like a lemon with a funky peel. I'd try it if someone offered it to me, but I don't think too many of the store around here carry those.

I think those are banned from New Orleans grocery stores because they've been used in armed robberies. Or something like that.

What has this odor been likened to? I'd try it as long as it's not too repulsive.

I personally don't find it offensive but there are people who find it stinky. In some countries, it's banned from being sold.
