Stan and 'nuff sed

[ChildofChrist]

Might be a help to those who don't know the officer, to share his name? (I did notice the lapel jewelry.)

[Neil D]

Hey CoC...long time no see....

Come wonder around some more, wouldja?

[Nan]

It is a good picture of you both, though it would have been

better if the one on the left was holding a durian, and the

one on the right, a jar of Marmite

[Overaged]

Hi Nan! These are strange-sounding foods indeed. I had never heard of them till now. Do you know if they are available in Canada or the USA? I just looked them up, and they sound worth trying? LOL; I just know that Safeway does not sell this stuff. Maybe Stan knows, since he eats it - or do you?

[Stan]

Don't be tricked into durian, marmite is great.. but.......

[Overaged]

Well; my Word Web Dictionary defines "durian" as:

Quote:

"Huge fruit native to southeastern Asia 'smelling like Hell and tasting like Heaven'; seeds are roasted and eaten like nuts."

Would I be better off eating icecream; or should I try to find some of this stuff? LOL

Yikes! Where would I find it?

[Nan]

Hi Overaged....there was a discussion on durian a week or 2 back after I posted a picture of rambutan - another smaller tropical fruit with a hairy red skin. Rambutan is wonderful, durian is in a class of its own.

'Nuff sed used to live in Sarawak, Malaysia (where years ago he knew my husband) and I am not sure who polluted whom, but they both like durian.

If you have not been brought up on it, I would definitely not go there! Initially in the mouth it feels OK, a pleasant texture but then the smell and the taste seem to link up and make (me anyway) want to gag.

Marmite on the other hand is one of life's essentials. Blossom who is a small furry friend of Stan (see the thread in the photo section) likes it

but he will not give her any.

[Overaged]

Wow...thanks for the info. That hairy fruit stuff looks dangerous...I guess the closest I ever got to it was Papaya, or Passion Fruit. I can't eat those because of the smell. LOL, when I was a kid we used to have these apple fights with little green apples about the size of Durian. But now that I googled an image of this Durian; I can't help but think that I missed out on a great opportunity! Durian would be a great substitute; but alas, I can find no one interested in apple fights these days!!

Surely, after all these many years, you would know by now that Stan's brain moves too fast to notice small details such as spelling!

LynnDel is so kind and generous... Thank you my friend.
