However, most people wouldn't describe a durian as lovely or simple. It's bigger than your average coconut and it's spiny. The spines actually hurt if you pick it up without it being in a plastic net because it's weight digs the spines into your hand. This is a fruit that kills people as it falls out of trees though.
The inside is even weirder. The fruit is divided into four or five sections. Each section has a split down the middle of it and can be accessed from the husk. Inside each section is four or five seeds. These seeds are surrounded with the meat of the fruit which is like a slightly more solid vanilla custard. It's filling too. A whole durian has approximately 2000 calories.
It was definitely an unusual experience and made me think about what exactly is out in the world that is 100% alien to me. It's good to shake me up so violently.
What else?
Also on Sophia's recommendation from last week, I went to give Give Pizza A Chance a chance today. It's apparently the same people/business that runs Pyro Pizza in cartopia. I really enjoyed the GPAC and I will most likely be back. It may even be a viable alternate to eating DC Vegetarian so much but the values not quite there.
After durian, Sophia, Yi and I went to Por Que No for yet a third new dining experience for the day. Good quality, good prices, nice place. We were there late talking which was really pleasant. Damn good day.

Wait, does it actually taste like vanilla custard, or is that just the texture? Looks like you could tie that to a chain and have yourself a medieval weapon.
It does taste like vanilla custard with a bit of coconut and lemon juice maybe.
If you got it before it was ripe, it could definitely be used to pummel people.
