Tastes like heaven, smells like hell
That's what they say about the durian, a fruit synonymous to Davao City. We were there last weekend and like many tourists before us had to go through this rite of passage. For me, it was neither heaven or hell. I'd grown accustomed to the smell as Mom's trusted aide Nene loves this so much and regularly buys her fill. As for the taste, I don't think it's heavenly. Durian is something I won't miss.
What about you? How was your weekend? Was it heaven or hell?

YOu know ... I really want to like the stiff. I bought one once with my daughter. We got home and cut it open then had to run outta the house cause of the smell. We then had to draw straws to see who was going back in to put it in a big heavy duty bag and carry it out to the bin. Eventually I rolled the bin as far away on our property as I could.
I think if we got past the smell, we might like the taste ... I dunno ... we never got to the tasting bit.
