On our grocery shopping trip we found this:
Durian is a fruit: a big, green thorny fruit native to Malaysia and Indonesia. In fact, it is considered "King of the Fruit" throughout South East Asia. It has a creamy texture, like mushy banana. But is has one drawback. It has an extremely offensive odor described as garlic like, similar to stinky feet! Some countries even ban the presence of durian in hotels and on public transportation due to its offensive smell.
Whoa nelly!!!
When we were in Singapore the taxis had "no durian" signs in them! They looked just like the no smoking signs with a silhouette of a durian and a big red line across it :)
