Smells Like Poop - Tastes Like Heaven

Sarah, my Korean friend, was kind enough to take me to the Asian Food Market in Lexington and answer all my questions about all the unusual foods I saw. When we came to this....

I said what is that? It looked like a porcupine. She had a surprised look on her face and said you've never had Durian? When I said no, what is it fruit? She nodded and said... yes, the King of Fruit. Then she said, "it smells like poop but tastes like heaven!" After I finally stopped laughing I said we had to buy one. She explained that normally it's not frozen but that if it's anything like home then we will know it's ripe when the whole house smells like poop.

Now Paul and I are waiting for the poop smell so we can call our friends to come share some Durain. : ) We'll let you know how it turns out.
