Guest guest Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 HI Tommie Wow those are great pictures!!!!!!! I feel like eating the Durian!!! I can't wait to get one! Renata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Good morning, Renata! It took me some 50 _years_ after I first read about it in a book about missionaries to try one. All that anticipation and desire finally paid off! I wasn't sure what I was supposed to be tasting even with all the descriptions, and there was no one around to tell me if it was a good one or not. And from the reactions I got at work, I couldn't get a second opinion. One other person agreed to taste it but that's all she would do. Since it wasn't a good combination with what she'd already eaten, she belched it all afternoon. Yet another reason for proper food combining! Have a good day and if it's a durian day, let us know how it goes! Tommie http://www.rawburchard.blogspot.com rawfood , Nutritionist4U wrote: > > HI Tommie > > Wow those are great pictures!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Hi Tommie I bought mine in Flushing NY, where almost every market is Asian. I opened it and ate the pulp, but it did not taste good to me at all. The smell wasn't as bad as the taste, maybe mine was not ripe? It was easy to open kind of soft, I used a knife to split it in half. Do you like the taste? It tasted like onions to me. Renata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Wish I was close enough to help you out with it, Renata! I tried to buy one yesterday but the only Asian market reasonably close to me was out. I wanted it to help me celebrate my raw anniversary.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 I find that the flavour of durian varies wildly with the individual fruits. Some are overwhelmingly " cheesy " and some are wonderfully " creamy. " I hope that someday you come across a delightful one. *********************************************************** Tom Spontelli Instructor Ann Wigmore Natural Health Institute Aguada PR 00602 USA www.AnnWigmore.org Two week Living Foods Lifestyle Certification Program on tropical beach at one of the world's most respected Lifing Foods Institutes. *********************************************************** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Hi My Durian had an onion taste, is there any way I can pick a better tasting one by the look?

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 It has an undertone of onions or garlic and I do like it!

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hello Everyone, Is there a place in Seattle area where I can find Durian? I've never taste it before but I heard so much about it. Thank you, Cristina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Cristina, I'm a Seattle expatriate, but I still know the places to go. In downtown Seattle you can find them in Chinatown at several Asian stores. In Kent you can find them at the Great Wall (E. Valley Hwy. and S 188th) at the Valley General Hospital exit from 167 Others will be able to direct you to some of the more obscure or recent purveyors. Just about any Asian market will have it. Usually it is frozen, there are some tips on thawing it - might even be in the FAQ for this list. Good luck, Nick Hein - Cristina RawSeattle Thursday, January 11, 2007 5:53 PM [RawSeattle] Durian Hello Everyone, Is there a place in Seattle area where I can find Durian?

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Thank you Nick! I will try the one in Kent first. It's very close to my house.
