... "eating peaches and cream with cinnamon while standing in an open sewer."
I have bought durian here in Sydney and not found the smell all that dreadful. Perhaps the variety we grow (in north Queensland) has been bred for less smell? I confess to thinking the flavour over-rated; I'd rather have an Alphonso mango any day.

Holy shit, I've never seen that, but I believe it must be vile. I was in SE Asia in 1972, so |

Oh, God, yes. A durian in an overhead rack is indeed an act of terrorism. |
