Had the privilege this week to enjoy some tasty super food 
Durfte diese Woche einen schmackhaften Superfood geniessen
Went to Costco today and saw that they had some packaged pressed durian in the snack section. Picked one up and just tried it.
It has the texture of a really soft licorice rope, it's dark brown in color and tastes like cooked, smashed durian. The thing really loves to stick to teeth though.
Score: 6/10 
Dimsums and durians at the R
Tai family brunch.
And yes, with a dash of mangosteens.
I didn't even know this place exists in #Malaysia! A homestay where you can eat to your heart's content up in the mountains and be surrounded by cats too 
Can always trust this YouTuber to film the most interesting vlogs.
PS: While the YouTuber is from China, the others are Malaysian and one Singaporean Chinese. The wife commented that her husband is a 
person because he can only speak Cantonese. 
I love durian and all but I think there should be limits to what we add it to, ya know? 
China's taste for durian — a fruit typically the size of a rugby ball that can emit an odor so powerful, it is banned from most hotels — is reshaping the economy in Southeast Asia. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/06/17/asia-pacific/china-durian-fortunes-southeast-asia/ #asiapacific #china #durian #southeastasia #malaysia #thailand
#durian kills a surprisingly high number of people
this is an article from 2013, somebody just taking a brief media survey and finding 8 deaths
people are scared of sharks
they need to be scared of murderous fruit
also in the article: death by consuming durian. it's high in potassium. if you have a heart condition, probably like the middle aged men mentioned who died, or kidney issues, you should not overconsume durian

the view of the #durian harvesting process from the guy or gal up in the tree:
context:
harvesting #durian in the #philippines or #thailand
someone up high is cutting off the fruit and dropping it down
it's a heavy hard fruit, a hit to the noggin is definitely life threatening, and durian has killed
it also has lots of big sharp spikes, that's how it catches in the burlap
i'd be dead within the first hour of work

I am blessed to have a family that will riot to defend durian: Freddie Wong’s 3.5 star rule https://octodon.social/@22/108998457259229253 of course applies to the Chinese dessert place with the killer durian kakigoori but when we saw one of the reviews accusing durian of “smelling of old socks and rotten eggs and tasting of garlic”, everyone was up in arms and yelling about people without taste for ten minutes
Get you a family that loves #durian to throw down over it 
About to sample this gift, #durian flavoured wafer cookies. Looks intriguing.
My spouse is so awesome, she got the “fresh durian with salted vegan egg yolk lava” moon cakes that the Cantonese foodie group praised and mmm delicious #durian for life
