    Yeah, I never thought fruit could taste this good.

    I have trouble remembering the names of the specific hybrids, but I believe that variety is called “Dapple Dandy” or “Dinosaur Eggs.” When I was was trying to find the name, I came across this photo of some of the varieties of hybrids. It’s wild how different they can be.

      I’ll look it up!

      Have you ever tried durian?

        No, I don’t think I’ve tried durian. I don’t recognize the name, but the fruit itself looks familiar, so I’ve definitely seen them around. I’ll pick one up the next time I see it!

          Durian in California? I highly doubt that that would be fresh. If it’s your first time, I recommend finding one that fell from the tree fully ripe that same day.

            I’m sure I won’t find a fresh one, but I remember seeing something that looked like that at one of the local Asian supermarkets I spend way too much money at.

              Frozen? Probably a ‘Mongthong’ harvested unripe in Thailand. I highly recommend going to Malaysia or Borneo and trying a fresh durian instead. You only get one first durian, and you owe it to yourself to try a good one.
