www.weird-food.com

Bored old val decides to write another post to distract herself from the tormenting, insurmountable task of studying for her 4 consecutive exam papers. 3 bio papers followed by one japanese paper. Peachy!

Anyway, I came across this website showcasing the world's weird foods. Its got everything from innards to bugs to live squid that suck on your mouth as you try to eat it. The interesting thing is that durian is listed! Some of the descriptions are really funny. I quote:

"A fruit as big as a football, covered with tough spiky skin. The pulp is pale yellow, with shape and consistency of raw brains. Smell has been compared to rotting flesh, old gym socks, or sewage. "

"Durian is the King of Fruit. You should all be so lucky to have access to Durian. If there are gods, the gods eat Durian. I would rather eat Durian than pizza. However, to keep all in perspective, I would rather have sex than eat Durian. But Durian is definitely second on my list."

"Durians cannot be plucked. You have to wait for them to fall of the tree. When they fall, don't be under them."

Hahaha. I love durians! If only I had some with me. Yum.
