Our local health food store owner often stocks odd
things he finds at Asian groceries. I hear he has a bottle of "Durian
essence". I have to wonder if it would keep away varmints, or attract
them? My husband says that the moral of all this is that if you date
an Asian woman, you should buy her durian treats instead of
chocolate.
Have any of you seen the
reaction of Asians raised in America? I'm assuming this is a genetic
rather than a cultural thing. I used to hang out on a support group for
people with Wilson's Disease (copper overload, I was interested in it at the
time). Something that came up was that none of them can smell skunk, it
goes with the disease. My husband finds skunk on the dogs a lot more
offensive than I do. Woman tend to be higher in copper than men,
and my husband has high iron so his copper is low. It could be that
durian concentrates some mineral that is rare in Asia, or more likely it
provides some vitamin or phytonutrient that Asians don't synthesize as well
as other races. Donna
