> There is no such thing as a good durian.  They are all vile.


About a decade ago, somebody in alt.tasteless sent me a can of
durian "puffs" (for lack of a more descriptive term) as a gag
gift.  The durian fruit had been discussed in that newsgroup
not long before.  The things were basically spherical crackers,
snack food that resembled Kix cereal, only with pieces that
were maybe twice the size.  

When I opened the can, the odor was nothing remarkable, sort
of oniony/vinegary.  And the pieces tasted like nothing so
much as those little cocktail onions, the ones that are used
in Gibsons or sold canned and mixed with peas by Green Giant
or S&W or whoever it is.  I still have yet to really grasp
why durian is such a big deal in the Far East.
