Thoughts on the Big Dur

What's with people hating durian so much? It's delicious. The smell/flavour is certainly strong and it can be overpowering. But I don't find it an unpleasant smell/taste. To me, it has a slightly bitter custard flavour but it's still very, very sweet. I would go as far as to say that I love durian. My favourite part is biting into the outer skin casing and sinking my teeth into the gooey flesh underneath.

And so ends my slightly cannibalistic sounding thoughts on durian and why it ranks in my top five favourite fruits in the world.

To add to that, starfruit is very mediocre. It's just very watery and fibrous, without the mellow sweetness to make it refreshing like watermelon has. Besides its pretty shape (honestly, the shape isn't even that great), it doesn't have a lot going for it. Mangosteen on the other hand... That poo-looking stain on my shorts from one of my first mangosteen experiences in 2004 was entirely worth it. How can such a tasty fruit cause such heinous stains?
