When my 2nd son was 3, we were having a durian snack and left with a few servings, we were careful to apportion fairly amongst 3 children.  My 2nd son at 3 felt he didn't get a fair cut, he went into a blind rage, he smashed all the durian out the table and went on a long tantrum on the floor.
I caught that on video and gave him a whacking.  Must look for that video.
Amazing power of the durian when emotions are uncontrollable, like in a little boy.

That is so awesome! LOL
Durian rocks.

I've never eaten a Durian, so my favourite is a Cherimoya (a custard apple).  It tastes like ice-cream to me.

(I'm with Mark Twain on this one; he called the Cherimoya "the most delicious fruit known to men.")

I would have to agree. I'e only had two in my life but they were both fantastic. :)

Mine is wild blueberries. Those are only available a couple months out of the year. When they're not available then my favorite is organic blackberries.

Kind of starchy but plantains are awesome. When I was younger growing up in Europe, I used to love picking wild-cherries, wild-currants or gooseberries while hiking in the mountains. I've had blackberries last night, delicious. Pineapple is also yummy and helps to digest protein if you eat a lot of it, but it's too sweet and burns my tongue.

Blueberries and blackberries!
Fresh or frozen.

I tried some freeze dried durian and I find that I neither love it nor hate it. Perhaps it's because it's freeze dried, but I find it to be mediocre. It smelled mildly of sugar and sulphur and tasted like an onion-garlic pretzel. I liked the crunchiness, but that's about it. If I see the "fresh" (imported) fruit in a market I'll try one, but I'm not interested enough to order a fresh-frozen one.

The chips are alright...
After tasting the frozen fruit I don't think I would ever want the chips again
I can only imagine fresh... ftw
