The Durian: Friend or Foe?

When you enter a grocery store in China, you will be greeted with a sweet smell.  I kind of think of it like the sweet smell of garbage.  That smell comes from a fruit called the Durian.  Every produce section serms to have one.  Sometimes, you will see signs banning the fruit.

When we brought Kiersten home, we bought her some durian wafers.  I tried one.  It tasted better than it smelled.  Her teacher even made her eat outside of the class during snack.  We had to seal it in airtight bag.

If you ever make it over to China and see a spiky looking yellowish fruit, give it a smell.  If you can get past the smell rat some.  Then, make your own judgement.
