I mentioned (quite poetically!) a few days ago that I was going to try Durian again. Well, the verdict is in: Still a no-go. But on the positive side, I was able to swallow it this time and the smell was not so offensive. I’m thinking that maybe if I keep trying I’ll acquire a taste for it – much like acquiring a taste for beer or healthy vegetables you don’t like but know you should. Because I really think that if I liked durian, it would definitely give me some street cred…
Anyways, the epic outing was captured on film and we even came up with our own Durian haiku poems:
Butter in fruit form Albeit slightly rancid Makes one dread belching. – Beth

Okay the durian hype is definitely making me want to try some, even if it does just gross me out in the end. Any chance you can smuggle some through customs? haha

My luggage would never smell the same again! But come to think of it, I think they sell some at the Grand Asia Market in Cary…

It’s my guess that if you can down durian, you can definitely eat peas……

Oh man, I had suppressed that bad memory! To be honest – I can’t remember having peas anytime in the past several years!
