In honor of Halloween, I’d like to talk about one of the most hated mutant fruits: durian.
About a week ago, my mother and I stopped at Joy Yee noodle for bubble tea. It was my mom’s first time in and she was stunned with the seemingly endless fruit possibilities. Durian popped out to us after seeing Andrew Zimmern nearly pass out from it on the Travel Channel. The workers were more than willing to give us a sample…
It wasn’t bad. It did reak of armpit sweat, but it didn’t taste that much different than guacamole. However, it’s the aftertaste that will kill you. The very small spoonful of durian I ate sat with me for the rest of the day. It reminded me of liver and onions aftertaste, but stronger. Overall, I was grateful to try it but would never pay money for it.
