I Hate Durians!
King of Fruits my ass! I don't know who bobbed up with that moniker, but seriously, I met many mortals who disfavor the fruit. It shouldn't even be called a fruit! Elephant droppings sound better. Maybe there's a reason why it's thorny, so that no one opens it. But, humans, inquisitive as always, repugned the laws of nature. I started this post because some crumby boob smuggled in durians to the office yesterday. You could smell the malodor - all 7700 sq ft of it, a foul-smelling odour contaminated the atmosphere.The aroma - best described as pig-shit, effluent and onions, garnished with a gym sock. Thank God that durians are prohibited from establishments such as hotels, subways and airports.
It also famously appeared on Fear Factor - as an ingredient to a blended concoction of pig-brains, rooster testicles and cow eyes. I would rather eat fried cockroach than durians. If I was the contestant on Fear Factor, I would've chuck up the sponge. "Look, testicles and eyes are okay, but durians? No way, that's out of order!", and storm out of the place.
Apparently, in Thailand and Indonesia, durian-flavored condoms used to be sold at 7-Eleven. WTF?
Durians have also caused a terror alert. Oh how I wished that guns are legalized in Malaysia, so I could go around popping people eating durians. I'd be martyrized. St Daniel - The Durian Adversary - though I think some unhappy Catholic Christians may form a new Protestant denomination, the Assembly of Durians. LOL!
Ok so maybe durian flavoured condoms are gross. However, the fruit in its natural state is so heavenly! Come onnnn!!
ReplyDeletehe he ..... i dare not say anything now. We are the total opposite. LOL
ReplyDeleteBut what good is I don't fancy durian nor dislike durian. :)
AWw Meekie, I gotta agre with you dude. DURIAN STINKS BIG TIME!!!
ReplyDeleteSay NO to Durians!

ReplyDelete:)
sha No way. I disagree. :-P
ReplyDeletemeekiee Embarassing to say that it's the king of fruits - at least should've gone to the hairy rambutans. Haha!
lex Finally, a compadre. :-)
bengster And that's an understatement! :-)
I just had a wonderful durian meal yesterday. Come on, man.
ReplyDeleteThe truly Malaysian feel is that when you eat by the roadside durian stall... squatting while eating. Thats the ultimate durian experience. Don't eat in a room. Eat in open air.
Its a durian life anyway.
endroo g I've never been accustomed to durians and I don't think I ever will with a funky smell like that. Maybe I'll consider if Malaysian men of science formulate odorless durians. :-)
ReplyDeleteDurians are the bomb, Daniel...
ReplyDeleteWhat's the matter with you!
I love the way my pee smells after some durian!
aww daniel, dun worry you are not alone in this. Durian sucks, worst when you burp or fart, just like you said... wonder what so great about that fruit... I've NVR eaten durian EVER in my life so far
ReplyDeletekeropok Another durian fanatic. :-P So how was the movie, good?
ReplyDeletelex I think you should try it once, like I did some 15 odd years ago - and the taste still lingers on til today! Y.U.C.K.!
Woo durian is bliss...same goes with garlic, onion...yummy!!! :PPP
ReplyDeleteHave you tried 'stinking tofu' ? Now that is one horrible food that you shouldn't put in your mouth. Nevertheless I've vowed to try it when I go to HK.
che-cheh Oh no, not another durian lover. You guys better start eating different fruits before they legalize guns in Malaysia! :-P
ReplyDeleteP/S: I hate onions and garlics too!
Onions: Beef satay must go with me raw.
ReplyDeleteGarlics: Oh yeah, then bak kut teh must go with me raw.
endroo g Goodness gracious! Maybe my dislike for these stuff has blessed me with a strong sense of smell. It can backfire in bed though - if she's reading this, I never meant to embarrass you! LOL
ReplyDeleteummmm...i luv durians :-)
