Biggest disappointment ever: Dragon fruit!It looks and feels amazing. I'd wanted to eat one for years. It just looked like themost perfect, kiwi-like fruit imaginible. Awful. Tastes of nothing whatsoever.
Durian fruit is awesome.Star fruit, dragon fruit, and anything lychee is generally rad too.I get to cook with all sorts of exotic produce. Lately ive been working with a lot of ancient strains of carrots and beets. The restaraunt I work atdeals with "all natural organic" produce whenever possible. Its awesome, because I get to research the specials Im going to run, and play with them.
Darn rare kidney disease.
Never had one, but it look's tasty! : d....Too bad I can't have citrus ;___; Darn rare kidney disease.
Never heard of it. They would be cool to grow. I've always wondered if Yabloko Malokos from MGS3 are real... they're supposed to have a star shape in the middle if you cut it lengthwise.
You mean a starfruit?
No idea how it tastes. I dont like fruits.
Ellie: I had a slice of ham in my hand. I was going to drop it, so I slapped it hard. It attached itself to the wall
I've tried some weird fruit in my day, but no pomelo. I'll have to put that on my to-do list.Since we're talking about crazy fruit, I wanted to see if anyone's had durian. It's a giant spiky-*** football of a fruit that grows high up in the trees of Indonesia. When ripe, it drops off the trees with no warning, possibly killing anyone below. That's right, this fruit has claimed lives. It also smells like rotting death and is banned in many airports and hotels across the world. But supposedly if you can get past the stench, it tastes like rich custard.At a nearby Asian supermarket, they were selling durian in an airtight container...but I haven't gotten the courage to try it.
its odor is best described as pig-****, turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock. It can be smelled from yards away.
A rich custard highly flavoured with almonds gives the best general idea of it, but there are occasional wafts of flavour that call to mind cream-cheese, onion-sauce, sherry-wine, and other incongruous dishes. Then there is a rich glutinous smoothness in the pulp which nothing else possesses, but which adds to its delicacy. It is neither acid nor sweet nor juicy; yet it wants neither of these qualities, for it is in itself perfect. It produces no nausea or other bad effect, and the more you eat of it the less you feel inclined to stop. In fact, to eat Durians is a new sensation worth a voyage to the East to experience. ... as producing a food of the most exquisite flavour it is unsurpassed.
