There are a few things that are not allowed in China.
Facebook. Google. Honey-Boo-Boo. And in our home?
This freak of nature fruit looks like something from an old
sci fi movie.
The venus fly trap fruit opens up to reveal creamy albino pods.
Inside the slimy center of each pod is a large almond shape pit.
But the real mystery is the smell. Durian would be the kid in your class with the
Body Odor problem, forever making it
hard to make friends. It’s uber pungent, like papaya, onion or a fart in an small elevator.
Nothing is worse than over-ripe durian. Beware of buying
it pre-packaged from street vendors on a hot sunny day. If it’s wrapped under a
few layers of cellophane, it was for a good reason.
But I took a liking to durian.
Jeff will allow it in the house, or actually,
on our balcony.
But only on a very windy day..
