The Borneo Files, Version 5.1

For the past week, I've been looking all over Southeast Asia for Durian fruit. Unfortunately, all of the local vendors we visited said it was not in season. For those of you not familiar with Durian, it's one of the few things that choked up Andrew Zimmern on Bizarre Foods. It stinks and it tastes way worse than it smells. The people over here love it. I saw people just sitting around eating it.

One of the great things about Brunei is that is ruled by a benevolent Sultan. And when the Sultan of Brunei wants Durian, he has Durian. As a result, we found fresh Durian in a store tonight.

Here is what happened when I tried it:

This is one of the few times that I have actually seen you choke up over food! I love the fact that your Mom was actually trying to convince you that it was good too!
Good Times!
