Durian

The mysterious durian. We've heard so much about this strange spikey-football looking fruit. I mean even Andrew Zimmern couldn't eat it. He spit it out. We happened to walk into a supermarket while waiting for the travel agency woman to return, and the official durian guy was there with his gloves and facemask breaking them open and serving them, fresh. An opportunity you can't pass up. So here is the truth. Yes it smells like rotten garbage. No it doesn't taste that bad. Its kind of like a sweet onion that went stale. Not great by any means, but I'm glad I tried it.
