 DP> I'd like to try durian sometime, though I have no idea if I'd like it.

Although durians appear occasionally in good Asian groceries in USA,
they are normally rather green and have to be allowed to ripen fully to
enable the luscious flavour to be fully developed.  I suggest that to
try it, you ask for durian pieces, as often it is available in the form
of fillets, frozen and packed in plastic.

There are many interesting tropical fruits, some of which look very
strange (like dragon fruit and soursop) but taste mild, while others
look ordinary but have an intense taste (like camias).  Jackfruit is
another one similar to durian in appearance but less extreme in
flavour.  It can be enjoyed ripe, fresh, as a fruit, and also green,
cooked as a vegetable.
