We have a durian planation in the Philippines. They describe it as:
“Smells like hell, but tastes like heaven.”

Enjoyed the comments.

“what else is a good for brekkie that will last me for a while?”

Well, that’s where “Chocolate Pudding” comes in for me: See
http://www.rawrob.com/2006/02/05/chocolate-pudding/ for details of how to make, it keeps me going for quite a while.

Mandy, maybe the Yaoh bars would work better for you, they are based on hemp seeds, although they do have some nuts. But maybe dried fruit is what you need. Figs, apricots, dates, goji berries, currants. Easy to carry with lots of energy. Rob

Hey Catherine

I don’t really understand the durian season, there does seem to be times when more of them are around, but I think in the tropics stuff just grows all year round!

The shop where the assistant is always helpful and chooses a ripe one for me is called See Woo and it’s at 18-20 Lisle Street. There are two other shops on Gerrard Street that somestimes have Durian, they ar eboth obvious as they have loads of fruit and veg outside. (All three shops are in China Town).

Hi Rob, is it durian season then? IS there a durian season?!

I haven’t tried one yet, do you know the name of the shop you got yours from (or the road?)

Young coconuts can be hard to find but I often get them in various places in London, particularly Jamacan run market stalls.

Oh gee, I reckon theres no hope of finding one in northern ireland then. Do you know if new coconuts are availble anywhere in the UK or only in hot countries?
