Naturally!  I was motivated to look up the Durian Palace web page,
where there is a lot of useful stuff on selecting and eating durian,
and the different varieties.  And what a heavenly experience it would
have been to have been present at the 2006 World Durian festival in
Chanthaburi, Thailand!

... Durian: like eating vanilla custard in the head of a garlic freighter.
