    Das Theater mit der Durian
    Süß, fein, verführerisch - so denken viele Singapurianer über ihre stachelige Lieblingsfrucht. Faulig, widerlich, abstoßend - dagegen die meisten Touristen und machen einen weiten Bogen um sie.

    Die Geschmäcker gehen auseinander, ins Wörterbuch könnte die Frucht allemal.

    In Südostasien auch "king of fruits" genannt. "Tastes like heaven, smells like hell" sagen Einheimische.

    Kritik erwünscht :-)

    durian (du·ri·an)
    Pronunciation: /ˈdo͝orēən, -rēˌän, /
    noun
    1 an oval spiny tropical fruit containing a creamy pulp. Despite its fetid smell, it is highly esteemed for its flavor.
    2 (also durian tree)the large tree that bears the durian fruit, native to Malaysia.
    • Durio zibethinus, family Bombacaceae
    Origin:
    late 16th century: from Malay durian, from duri 'thorn'

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durian
    The durian (pronounced /ˈdjʊriən/)[2] is the fruit of several tree species belonging to the genus Durio and the Malvaceae family[1][3] (although some taxonomists place Durio in a distinct family, Durionaceae[1]). Widely known and revered in southeast Asia as the "king of fruits", the durian is distinctive for its large size, unique odour, and formidable thorn-covered husk. The fruit can grow as large as 30 centimetres (12 in) long and 15 centimetres (6 in) in diameter, and it typically weighs one to three kilograms (2 to 7 lb).
    ...
    The edible flesh emits a distinctive odor, strong and penetrating even when the husk is intact. Some people regard the durian as fragrant; others find the aroma overpowering and offensive. The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust, and has been described variously as almonds, rotten onions, turpentine and gym socks.
    ...
    The 19th-century British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace famously described its flesh as "a rich custard highly flavoured with almonds".
    ...
    There are 30 recognised Durio species, at least nine of which produce edible fruit. Durio zibethinus is the only species available in the international market: other species are sold in their local regions.
