The Durian
Written by David Klein
Durian, the legendary tropical fruit of Oceana,
is considered by many to be the ultimate eating
experience. Covered with a thick brown spiky husk,
it resembles a bizarre medieval football.
However, the treasure that lies within is out
of this world!
Durians are mainly available in the U.S. and
Europe from inner-city Asian food stores. If
your Asian grocer does not recognize the name
durian, ask for it by the name of its most
popular variety grown in Thailand, "monthong."
Durians typically arrive frozen from Thailand.
A good durian has a light fruity aroma, but a
durian which has a repulsively noxious aroma
may still be good to eat. The husk may he
decomposing and releasing sulfurous gases,
giving it the characteristic rotten egg aroma.
But don't give up--ecstasy resides within!
