Durian!!

Dubbed the King of Fruits, this is a truly regal fruit. It has all the properties of a rich, sugary and fattenning creamy dessert, and does you no good whatsover. However, to acquire a taste for durians is similar to that of being hooked on narcotics. Once you have learnt to like it, you will love it. And once you start loving it, it becomes irresistable and eventually addictive!



To prove this was indeed Manchester England where the photo was taken, I have pictured it alongside a local paper. In fact, durians have been sold in the UK for over 20 years now. Over that time, the price has gone up by only around 10%. Even then, it is still not cheap. This little one from Thailand cost me £11! It was nowhere near the best I have ever tasted, but it's Durian! .. and that is good enough for me, for now!
