I saw fresh durian for sale in Boston's Chinatown on Monday. I didn't have the courage to buy it, though. I have a very strong sense of smell, and while I often enjoy sour, bitter, or astringent foods I don't generally like ill-scented ones.-- Ginda

We saw a durian at an asian market in either Seattle or Vancouver. I'd heard it described as the "Queen of tropical fruits" and bought one, packaged nicely in a net bag. We took it up to our hotel room, everyone gathered around with great expectation as my son-in-law took a knife to open it. There were these balls of custardy creamy white stuff inside the firmer flesh. But the odor permeated the whole room in no time. Smelled like sh*t, The only one who could get it past the nose was my son-in-law who can't smell at all. We didn't know what to do with it - had to get it out of the room as the odor was sickening. Wrapped it in plastic and paper several times and dropped it off . Now I understand why some hotels in the orient have signs reading "No durians allowed". hector black middle tn----- Original Message -----
