Durian is widely known in southeast Asia as the “king of fruits”
The best Asian durians are said to be found in Thailand.

The spiky fruits have a hard,
brownish-green peel and vary in size from a large cantaloupe to a large human head,
weighing three to six pounds.
Many durian trees are large and can grow anywhere from 20 – 50 meters in height.
The fruit itself looks like small golden pillows,
and it has the sweet custardy taste to them.
Durian is a strange combination of savory, sweet, and creamy all at once.
A bite of durian is a creamy explosion of incongruent flavors that lights up taste receptors all over the tongue.
