aloha!
chanee
birds brand
selected durian chanee
to be weighed upon retail
product of thailand
the above i found on the tag to my first durian (plus some
chinese-looking characters) (minus the "aloha!"). not what i expected.
thank you to tierra true for traveling to san francisco and convincing
the shopkeeper, who had "already put the durian in the freezer," to part
with such a fruit for only (?!) $8. good going, new food spirit! look
for tierra's debut letter in the all-new nhm2m #29.
big ole' seeds!! big ole' rind!!! spiky, too. and that smell!
not pleasant, but made up for with *taste*! already split a bit on the
side, i removed the white plastic mesh bag from the brown & green spiky
fruit, saving the tag for future enjoyment. finding the fruit naturally
splitting into various (7? 8?) sections, i ate the flesh off the 2 or 3
seeds in each section. of the six people in the room, i ate the most
(maybe half). my girlfriend *really* did *not* like the smell. wouldn't
do more than taste-test. one person didn't even try it. my compost
still hasn't decided how it feels about this new member to the community.
dazzling sights & smells...
enduring durian,
bodhi
