The frooeets that started it all


This one is for Hoops, and will almost surely provoke a retaliation in the form of a post. I ate the fruit, Durien, the mother of all huge, spikey, stinky fruits, and it is a strange one. For one, it is SUPPOSED to stink. Of course, after opening it, I realized that it smells much the same way a mango does when opened. Not exactly a stink, but a slightly less-than-pleasant smell that doesn't tell you anything about the taste.
Strangely enough, the Durien is creamy. It reminds me of Boston Cream, like the kind they put in those donuts. A creamy fruit. Apparently it is not to be eaten if you plan on imbibing large amounts of alcohol, as it will kill you or something. Have to do more research on that.
See if you can dig one up and try it. Hoops, you to, second time is the charm.

also, your Durian is very green, whereas the one i had was farily tanish brown. Perhaps that played a key role.

PS. are you glad you don't have to pretend the US actually had a chance at the World Cup anymore? At first i was really pissed we were eliminated so quickly, but i've gotten over it.
