After hearing about its bad stench, and seeing many people comment about it on television ( Andre Zimmern, Anthony Bourdain...), I finally found a site where I can have it delivered to my house.
Ive been tracking its course online, but they never gave a specific date of delivery. So each day, I would call home from work, asking my wife if i recieved any packages. Of course, nothing.
Today, I was arriving at home, when I saw the post man's truck parked in front of my house. I thought it was kinda strange, since we dont usually get our mail until about 4pm, an it was about noon. I got out of my car, he proceeded to hand me this unmarked box, telling me that he things I got a shipment of rotten fruit. And that normally I am his last stop, but he needed to get this box out of his truck, because it was stinking it up. . Inside I laughed because I knew my fruit had finally arrived.
I didnt want to open it until the kids and my wife came home, since they have seen the same episodes ive seen about the durian fruit, and have also planted durian trees on their " farmville farm", as did i.
One by one, as they entered the house, the first words were " what stinks in here". My wife followed that by, " did u get that durian fruit today". I had placed it in the garage , assuming it would be safe there, but it is unbelievable how the stench penetrates the house, even through the doors and walls.
to me , it has that smell of when u waited one day too long to change your kitchen garbage, or, the smell when u walk by a restaurant dumpster.
Anyway, I havnt tried it yet, but Ill fill everyone in on my experience about the taste.
Im so excited ( not sure why though)
