She lifted it and what was inside? One giant full goose leg fried still had hair, still had feet,everything. The delicacy? the webbing between the toes. Mmmmm...she says it was quite tasty and no Durian smell :)<BR/><BR/>Whenever someone tells me I CANT have something, doesn't it make you want it more? Now I WANNA have a Durian, too, dammit!

These particular flash cards have fruit on them and the King of Tropical Fruit is certainly in there. Haven't tried it yet, but I'm glad to be warned of it's pungency. Have you tried morbier cheese? Oooh-wee is that strong. <BR/><BR/>You are so still in there. When you go to China, make sure you try the dragonfruit, a yummy cross between a watermelon and a kiwi.Katie Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13538877743925355191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31181426.post-65502995510746974692007-08-02T18:12:00.000-07:002007-08-02T18:12:00.000-07:00Never really heard of it and now I know to stay aw...Never really heard of it and now I know to stay away from it.Irenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05840494438567675482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31181426.post-10662441706357601352007-08-02T16:25:00.000-07:002007-08-02T16:25:00.000-07:00I have to be honest...I'm a little afraid of that ...I have to be honest...I'm a little afraid of that thing ;0)C's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10062655703410223668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31181426.post-69675985024313437182007-08-02T15:03:00.000-07:002007-08-02T15:03:00.000-07:00I think they are also LOADED with potassium... too...I think they are also LOADED with potassium... too much for some people to tolerate if I remember correctly! <BR/>Not so sure I'd be brave enough to meet it...Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04990217351040971236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31181426.post-33218660200310039052007-08-02T12:34:00.000-07:002007-08-02T12:34:00.000-07:00You always open my eyes to things new and fascinat...You always open my eyes to things new and fascinating!

The boy is addicted to Durian, but was under strict orders NEVER to open or eat it in the house. Even the 7 year old daughter would say "It smells like ass, dad".<BR/>He is also a 'chef' specializing in raw dishes. He made a durian and blueberry pie once, and it was really really really good. Didn't smell too bad, definitely not great, but it was good stuff.<BR/>But the flavor did linger, so I think it's truly an acquired taste.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06477543108055597027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31181426.post-32740028796407084462007-08-02T10:02:00.000-07:002007-08-02T10:02:00.000-07:00I have only heard about them because of the smell....I have only heard about them because of the smell.

I don't remember if I tasted it, or just tried to taste it (but couldn't get past the gawd awful smell). Regardless, that was as close as I want to get to a Durian. As in Kelli's post, during our time in Indonesia, we saw the same signs everywhere (hotels, buses, guesthouses) telling King Durians to Keep Out.walternativeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09167908113161354616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31181426.post-19766845474884243792007-08-02T06:59:00.000-07:002007-08-02T06:59:00.000-07:00Chicken feet......... come here for a visit, our "...Chicken feet......... come here for a visit, our "local" grocery store is full of them, pigs ears, and other unidentifiable parts.<BR/><BR/>What did the fruit taste like?
