Eating Durians

Image
I was having fruits tonight when popped in a funny and true story. The story is about "How I eat durians." Durians are large, thorn-covered and have a very distinctive odour. If you've never eaten durian or don't like it, the smell will resemble somewhat that of a rotten egg mixed with rotten cheese . However if you love eating durian, which I do, it smells just wonderfully delicious. (As long as it isn't in an air-conditioned room.) It is undoubtedly a one of a kind fruit and has been appropriately named "The King of Fruits." You just have to try it at least once in your life. I wonder who was the first human brave enough to eat this? Anyways, the funny thing about durians is that I grew up eating them always with a knife, spoon, and fork. The creamy texture which somewhat resembles a fatty cheese like Mont D'Or , or that of a custard was always eaten scooped up on the spoon. It was a dessert fruit, so naturally we used the dessert utensils...
