Durian

Disgusting smell. You know when it is Durian season. The smell lingers everywhere the fruit goes. Wikipedia describe it as a mix of rotten onions, turpentine, and raw sewage. I like to think it smells more like copious old vomit in a very hot room. Lovely.

On an outside balcony so the smell would not permeate the building we finally took the plunge. It felt like we were doing something illegal. Well worth it. I do like green eggs and ham. More appropriately we do like Durian. It tastes like custard, like a dessert fruit, and nothing like how it smells. Glynis likes it more than me. I am still a banana guy.
