No, I don’t think I’ve tried durian. I don’t recognize the name, but the fruit itself looks familiar, so I’ve definitely seen them around. I’ll pick one up the next time I see it!
Durian in California? I highly doubt that that would be fresh. If it's your first time, I recommend finding one that fell from the tree fully ripe that same day.
I’m sure I won’t find a fresh one, but I remember seeing something that looked like that at one of the local Asian supermarkets I spend way too much money at.
Frozen? Probably a 'Mongthong' harvested unripe in Thailand. I highly recommend going to Malaysia or Borneo and trying a fresh durian instead. You only get one first durian, and you owe it to yourself to try a good one.
Heh I will remember that! Thanks!
Sure thing. Lindsay has all the info about where to go and when.
