we lived in Singapore when I was a child and the experience of durian is etched into my memory like the San Andreas fault. I'd rather dress as an altar-boy and hang out in the Vatican cloisters than eat durian again. I remember my mother having a blazing row in the street with an ice-cream seller who'd sold me a durian-flavoured ice-cream and refused to give me my money back when I couldn't eat it. > We ate one of the durians at the party.

Thank you for that edifying thought. I think I'll go and sniff some stagnant sewers now.
