Durian: We saved the so-called “king of fruits” for last – but what a bummer! Its white legendary flesh, supposed to be aromatic and custard-like, was bad – acidic and grubby and rubbery. Experienced durian fans know that this happens from time to time: Due to premature harvesting or poor handling, a bad durian winds up on the table. It’s a heartbreaking thing – and one of the best ways to insure that your durian isn’t a dud is to buy two. Hell, they’re coming in by the boatload, anyway.
