You have no idea what you are talking about, none of you!
You can't comment until you know how to deal with it, and enjoy it.
Seeds? Spit out the seeds?....... Baa!
So it has a pungent smell, but it is incredibly good for the body - especially for excreting toxins and feeding phoshorous at a level which is perfect, whilst it balances vitamins.
Cr ...[text shortened]... get a passport and come and enjoy it...... I'll put you up just for the experience. 😏
-m.
they've got frozen durian in the markets here. hmmm.
OK, we've done the deed, thought I'd better report back.
It didn't smell great, but it tasted OK, a bit like mashed banana. It's now 2 hours later and we're both getting "many happy returns" which is a bit off-putting. Peter's comment was "not enough return on investment" referring to the amount of effort involved in dealing with the thing - oven gloves, meat cleaver, giant seeds and all - and I'd have to agree. Won't be buying another unless I happen to be in Thailand.
As far as the "frozen" goes, it wasn't frozen when I bought it, and still edible a few days later. I'm guessing the "frozen" is really "chilled".
