For those of you puzzling over that little exchange, you should know that durian's nickname in certain circles is "the corpse fruit," because it has a stink to it like decomposing flesh. It's my understanding that in Singapore it's illegal to eat durian in enclosed spaces like elevators and buses.

Some say it smells like wet, mouldy socks.

I say....durian season is just around the corner (July) and I'll be making the 100 mile pilgrimage back home just to eat the stuff all day
(my hometown is "infamous" for it)

I take it you've had the durian experience in person, Wade?
