"King of Fruits"

Last night we went to Malay Satay Hut for dinner with our small group. We got Roti w/potato curry as an appetizer and I got the Hot & Spicy Chicken as my entree, cause thats how I roll. It was all really good food! The best part of the evening was whenThomas ordered a durian shake. He has been talking this paticular fruit up at small group and so we dared him to order one and we would all try it. So, before I show you some pictures of the episodes to follow, let me give you a little description of the durian first,

Often called, the king of fruits, the edible flesh emits a distinctive odour, strong and penetrating even when the husk is intact. Some people regard the durian as fragrant; others find the aroma overpowering and offensive. The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust. The odour has led to the fruit's banishment from certain hotels and public transportation in southeast Asia

Got an idea? Here are a few pictures of how the tasting went...

 


 
I think James & Flyn's faces say it all. If I remember correctly, some of the testers called it

"Cat litter!"

"Onions!"

"Garbage!"

Have you ever tried the King of Fruits?

I've seen that fruit on that travel network show Bizzare Foods with Andrew Zimmer! He eats gross things all the time and could hardly handle it! GROSS! Did you taste it?

Yes, it was disgusting. Tasted rotten! And the smell is the worst part!
