Durian!



YUM! Durian.
Chano brought one back from Manila for us to eat.
Durian is called "The fruit that smells like H@@@ but tastes like heaven."
How bad does it smell?

Boing boing has a thread on Durian, and mentions this urban legend:
If you drink beer with the Durian, it will ferment inside you and you'll explode.

Wikipedia reports that an Indonesian proverb says: When the Durians fall down, the Sarongs go up...
