A durian, me, Laura and Norma

[catskillmarina]

Yesterday we opened the Durian and Laura, me and Norma ate Durian. Everyone enjoyed it. Norma who does not eat eggs particularly enjoyed it as it was like an egg custard without eggs.

Today we made a smoothie for lunch from durian and have enough left over to make another

Out of curiosity...where could I find this fruit? I am the only vegetarian in our system and sometimes eat stuff I dont really want to because its all we have. Tomorrow we are going to buy some fruits and veggies so I am very curious about this new found fruit.

I found it at a grocery store called super H.
Here is their website. http://www.hmart.com/.

If you find one here is a video of how to open one.

glad you enjoy.

that makes me really curious.
fruit that tastes like custard??
I mostly just wanna see it, smell it. I doubt I'd like it. I don't like custard or things with squishy texture (like pudding, frosting, whipped cream, etc).

[catskillmarina]

It is squishy with a bit of stringyness with an overpowering tropical scent and flavor. I like the
smell a lot.

warning: smell before you commit and buy. it is not for everyone. last time i saw them in h-mart in silver spring, a year ago july, i noticed they were in an open freezer. is that to keep the small down?

[catskillmarina]

I think so, though rarely H mart gets fresh Durians.

We smelled quite a few durians before we settled upon
the one we got. It was delicious ;-)
