Like eating custard in a sewer. I have tried the fresh fruit twice, first in Bali in 1988, then in Paris in 1992. I have also purchased durian ice cream from Polly Ann's in San Francisco. I brought it to a party once.
Durian fruit are at far right.
I try durian fruit from a roadside stand. Two small bites are all I can handle. My driver happily finishes the rest of the durian. A durian tree. These are very tall and people have been known to be killed when a durian fruit has fallen on their head.
