lumpenprol Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 So I roped you in with the thread title but there's no poll...why? Because Durian is the undisputed King of Fruit. Forget anchovies, or oysters, or cigars, or any number of other delicacies that people pretend are an acquired taste that comes with age - durian is the ultimate test. And it's that season again, if you happen to live in Asia. I've been mackin' on one a day! My office reeks and my unenlightened colleagues - those who are not yet fans - wrinkle their noses in disgust. Too bad - I'm the boss! And I adore the putrid alien egg-custard-and-french-onion soup bizarre combo! It's like that everlasting gobstopper or whatever the candy was that tasted like an entire meal and turned the girl into a blueberry. Holy fuck. Durian.

FUCK That's the worst thing i've ever eaten. The flesh simply doesn't cleave to the bones. Battery ferming. And then, foie gras is banned from NY state, because it's considered as ill-treat. IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work!

dr lopez Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 I'd love to try one of these warlocks one day. They sound fantastic. Of course my optimism might be shattered the minute I smell them. My mum lived in Indonesia for a bit and she claim it was the LSD hallucination of fruit. Not sure what that really means but it sounded interesting!

lumpenprol Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 You just have to get them at the right stage in their ripeness cycle, where did you try them? I used to live in Indonesia and they like them very rank there (in fact it's said the best ones are those that have passed through the digestive tract of an elephant first). The humidity makes them turn quickly. But the ones I'm getting in China are from Thailand and they are perfect. Just have to be selective, you wouldn't eat a rotten pair or apple either. Btw besides being packed with nutrients (vitamin C, potassium, "good" fats), they are a natural source of tryptophan (linked to serotonin and melatonin, may act as a short-lived antidepressant). That may be one reason I like it, dunno...

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) I was in Thailand and I remember them coming in to season around the end of April, some people did tell me that they were better a bit past ripe but I don't think I ventured to try. edit: also not to a be a dick but I happen to have just been reading about tryptophan for depression and the conclusion was that blood levels are barely affected by dietary intake.

delet... Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 I think that they are poisonous if you eat to many of them.
