Hi Dirt                 8/8/08 10:05 PM

dd-> The durian this time had a much sharper, much more sulphuric aroma
than
dd-> previous durians. It was more an open sewer smell than the more 
dd-> amiliar diaper pail aroma. I did not partake as I was overstuffed with 
dd-> other things and worrying about getting Georgia back where she could 
dd-> have a lie down.
dd-> xxCarol brought the (young - short spikes) durian to this year's 
dd-> picnic.

I only had Durian once before.  To me this one smelled much less than the
one I had before... in Baltimore in 1995, I think.   

I thought it tasted good.   It was soft and tasty, softer than the custard
it is compared to.   It's a nice yellow color, and feels good in the mouth.

It did not feel good hours after, when it still "came up" in little burps
that are, for me at least, apparently a common occurence from eating it. It
was not enough bother to keep me from eating it next time.

Michael, Carol, and I ate quite a bit of it.  I give special honors to
Stephen who had to be pushed to finally eat a taste, as many others could
not
be.   After a faltering taste he went and got a bowl and a spoon and ate a
couple good mouthfuls.   Kudos Stephen.

Funny I never saw anyone eat it with a utensil.  The few I have seen eat
some just dug in bare handed.   I guess after you get past the smell you
figure there is nothing in it that can harm you.
