What is a durian?
Aug 17, 2006

Well...simply put, Durian is a fruit: a big, green thorny fruit. But wait, it is not just another exotic and expensive fruit from South East Asia. In fact, it is considered "King of the Fruit" throughout the region. Personally, I think that is an understatement of the millenium since we Asian are humble people. In fact, the actual status of Durian is "THE GOD OF ALL FRUIT!". No kidding! Yeah, yeah, I know, some (unadventurous) people would rather die than to smell the STINK of a durian. Heck, a few countries even BAN the presence of durian in selected public spots due to its offensive smell (that, to me, is a hopeless rule just like outlawing fart, when we know that it is such a pleasure and EVERYBODY secretly doing it!)

 Name: Bombaceae Durio zibethinus L./Murr
Better known as: Durian (Malaysia/Worldwide), Duren (Indonesia), Thurian (Thailand)
From: South East Asia (Malaysia/Thailand/Indonesia, etc.)
Occupation: Kings Of The Fruits
Part-Time Job: Handy as a weapon
Visibility: Everyone
