Durian

[Fathom Zero]

Can someone tell me how to obtain this elusive nasty fruit?

[Esuohlim]

I'm sorry it's not possible because not even Mario can obtain them he has to kick them around because they're too pointy

[MLE]

Any asian mart will have them. Especially korean asian marts. Although I advise strongly against giving into your curiosity.

[Fathom Zero]

I heard they're actually bad for you due to all the fat. I will have one.

[MLE]

They smell horrendous.

[Fathom Zero]

That's half the fun.

Don't eat durian with alcohol, it can seriously make you sick. Bad sick. Also, eat it outside unless you want your place to reek like shit for a week. Strangely enough, they actually taste kind of good.

[Guitar Woman]

Of course it tastes good, why the fuck else would you want to eat a fruit that smells like an underserviced porta-potty?

[Blue Gularis]

Actually, as I said they only taste "kind of good" but Thais eat cockroaches so go figure.

I think you're just chiming in with a quote from Wikipedia, but I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt on this one.

If what people say is true, it's a really sweet, nutty flavor. Also, the meat looks a lot like organs. :barf

I must have it.

i use to eat durian a lot when i was young.
do you know there's one type of durian called CAT SHIT... i haven't got the chance to taste it myself but i bet they smell and taste like it.
durians are actually national fruit of my country. they call it THE KING OF ALL FRUITS. the name durian means:
durian = spiked fruit.

see, i'm the intelligencer here

*some useful tip*
if one's finish eating it, pour some water into the shell, and drink from it. it'll kills the nasty smell in your mouth.

[Fathom Zero]

Now that's something I hadn't heard.

[Sethomas]

Zako, change your title to "the intelligencer here" RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

Hey Fathom,

Did you ever locate one of these "Kings of All Fruit" yet? I'm curious as, after scanning Wikipedia, it sounds disgusting enough to try.

Oh, why did I move away from Austin? Asian markets galore there...

[Fathom Zero]

I'll get one when I go up to Cincinnati for Christmas. All I have are Korean markets and I've checked them out already.
