The return of durian!

Just a quick note to update you on durian - otherwise known as jack fruit in India. They have it in India too! Today for lunch someone brought little fried balls that looked, and tasted, like hushpuppies. They smelled a little funny, but hey, lots of things here smell a little funny so I didn't make much of it. But after we started talking about who had brought which foods, I learned that I had finally tried durian! Of course everything tastes good when it's fried up with dough, but it really wasn't too bad aside from the stench. It was shredded durian/jack fruit all mushed up with sweet dough and then fried. Delicious!
