When I arrived in Singapore the air was filled with the stench of I knew not what. Then I heard a shipment of durian was responsible. Yeah, i was put off taking any part in but for some durian ice cream. Oh yeah, I got as far as touching it to my lips, but no further would i let it in. Cut to today. i just tried it for the first real time, but up here in Canada. It wasn't so pungent. I believe I cheated in a way. This was a nice entry level experience. No doubt it wasn't let to tree ripen, but maybe even force-ripened somewhere along route. That's something to have a show about right there. So I'm pretty doubtless. I know I'd like it fresh, pungent and so on, now having got past its otherwise unapproachability Way back in 1990 I spent 6 months in SE Asia.

He can eat almost anything: reindeer, turtle, stuffed pancreas etc. He is able to stomach anything except one thing....Durian!! That is his nemesis. On the internet you can find a video of Mr. Zimmern having a 100% raw meal at raw food chef Ani Phyo's house. He was pleasantly surprised at how good it tasted. During the meal, Ani Phyo tried to sneak in some durian in a smoothie she made him, but he instantly recognised the smell! Hi Kevin

I was wondering when you'll post a video on Durian and the next day, I see it in my inbox! Durian is one of the best fruit - both in terms of taste and nutrients. In South East Asia, it is termed the King of fruits. The ones available in Thailand and any part of Europe are actually varied versions of the authentic ones originating from Malaysia and Singapore. The ones we have here are sweeter, creamier and richer. If any of you have a chance to travel to Asia, be sure to try out the durians whenever you see them for sale! The closer to Malaysia and Singapore you come, the better the durians! A super durian smoothie can be made simply from blending some durian flesh and raw cacao powder with some ice. Don't worry bout the portion sizes, it is pretty difficult to go wrong with raw foods! Cheers To Abundance, Love & Joy Linda http://rawfoodlifestyles.com/ Hey Kevin & Annmarie

My usual is a cup with a shot of fresh ginger mixed in but my absolute favorite is ice-cream. I have it weekly and have not had a bad experience yet.

It taste better and smells less as you eat more of it. And according to my asian market Mr. Wu it has some aphrodisiac like properties. So watch out. My wife bought some frozen durian chucks a while back and got very ill from that batch and we haven't had it since then but It's still worth the experience. Love the explaination on picking out the best durian ever. Durian is like eating pudding in the locker room after a awesome game. It taste better and smells less as you eat more of it.

I can buy durian here in British Columbia for 90 cents a pound at Superstore. For me durian is a special treat. I can buy 2 or 3 at a time and always people ask me questions about it. My kids love it too. It is a fatty fruit with lots of flavor and fortunately does not taste what it smells. I would consider some day to go on a durian monomeal as a raw food cleanse. That would be an heavenly cure. As for the mosanto movie you can watch the trailer in English at: http://www.nfb.ca/webextension/mosanto/medias.phb Hi Kevin and Annmarie,
