Durians

No kidding. I also don't know why mangosteen, which I think should be at the pinnacle of fruit fame along with mangos, pineapples, etc, is not more widely known. It's probably my favorite fruit apart from the dark-horse candidate durian. Also salak, which I've never had outside of indonesia, is delicious, cool-looking, and easy to eat, don't know why it doesn't get more recognition either.

i dunno, i've never had a durian, but I heard the are fucking DELISHIS! but yeah, how hard are they to get in the states that is my fucking quelslton? i dunno. YUM

Definetly heard of mangosteen never seen one though, if I'd have known it looked that fucking kool I would have tried harder.

Regardless of how good the Durian tastes, I don't think I could overcome the smell really. Delicious food must smell delicious in my book

my loss I guess.

also, LYCHEES in cocktails

Mangosteens is incredible, but they're too goddamn expensive to eat regularly.

Have you tried soursop, lumpy?

It's really delicious fare.

We always drink Mangosteen juice when we're ill - it has amazing restorative properties.

Why have both of your posts slowly narrowed towards the bottom. Did you do that on purpose for effect?

I have no problem with it. I just wanted to know if you did it on purpose or just subconsciously typed that way lol.

I was about to say "no" and then I saw that it's the same thing as a guanabana, and in the same genus as the cherimoya. I've had real live cherimoyas but I've only drank guanabana juice, which is delicious!

hey lum, you're spot on...I travelled to southeast asia a summers ago, and Mangosteen was one of the best things I had there. Once I tried it, I seriously had it ALL the time till I left. My last day in Thailand, I found a girl on the street with fresh fruits making smoothies...she had mangosteen's as well, so I asked her to make me a pure mangosteen smoothie. man, it was heaven.

needless to say, mangosteen is now one of my favorite fruits...however, the one fruit that may beat it is Jackfruit (can't believe it hasn't been mentioned in this thread). Jackfruit is the greatest thing known to mankind.

yeah, I'm not a huge jackfruit fan, it's good enough but it sort of seems like the poor man's durian (though they don't taste alike, but they look kind of similar).

I've never tasted Durian but I'm into exotic fruits.

Have you guys ever tried Dragonfruit?

Its really awesome. Texturally its alot like a Kiwi, and the taste is a bit familiar but its a very mild taste, almost like water with a tiny bit of sweetness. Awesome fruit.

I've tried lychee before though, and I fucking hated it. It looks like a skinned testicle, the consistency of the tissue feels like chewing on a testicle might, and the taste has forever been burned into my brain as the taste of human testicle - only to be replaced if I ever try human testicle.
