Stinky Fruit

(In the tune of Phoebe's Smelly Cat)

Stinky Fruit, Stinky fruit why are they eating you?
Stinky Fruit, Stinky fruit your thorns should have warned them off...

They won't take you to hotels...
You're obviously too strong of a smell...

You may not be a bed of roses,
And you're no friend to those with noses.

Stinky fruit, Stinky fruit why are they eating you?
Stinky fruit, Stinky fruit your thorns should have warned them off!

To tell you the truth I absolutely adore Durian...It just so happened when I was enjoying this creamy pungent fruit the song Smelly Cat kept playing in my head and so I thought it would be funny to do a version focusing on this King of Fruits. To those who haven't had the chance of trying a durian before I will tell you that it is an acquired taste...either something you love or hate. It's like fruit and creamy cheese rolled into one.

My favourite way to eat it is straight from it's thorny casing...or to have it mashed and wrapped in a thin crepe...oh so pungent and delicious!

I still haven't tried durian, although I've had some durian flavoured things that I didn't like. I will have to give it a go one day though, just to say that I have. Do you just eat the white flesh, and are those big seeds in the photo?

The Nomad Gourmand - yes I have heard of it! I need to try it...yumms...altho I don't like a lot of durian flavoured things...which is weird cuz I like the fruit :)

Arwen - give the actual fruit a try..it's different from the durian flavoured products. You eat the yellowish flesh and the seed is on the inside...the seeds can be quite big!
