I would like to take a moment to give gratitude for the existence of durian fruit. Nature had a niche for a flavor that was intriguing with a strange tingling on the tongue that resembles modern preservatives, sweet with the lingering hint of a porta-potty in the distance, and durian stepped up and said, "I'll do it." Bless that creamy, delicious, nauseating bastard for filling the evolutionary niche of junk food long before the inspiration hit.
Have been tempted to try them for a long time. Love the way they look, too.
I am one of those flies drawn to stinky fruit.
