Durian
The Durian is an unlikely food both to look at and then to smell. It has sharp points all over its exterior shell. Once you get the shell open there are several lobes of butter colored flesh wrapped around large brown pits. Once open you immediately notice a very pungent smell that is somewhat off-putting. In Singapore and Malaysia you actually see no Durian signs on public transportation, right next to the sign that prohibits public displays of affection. Strange because the Durian is a very romantic fruit, when you think that you have to work so hard to access it’s potent smelling treasure. The pulp is reminiscent of custard and is sweet and delicious. This fruit is often made into ice cream. Rumor has it a better smelling variety is in the works.
