Help?!?

Now that I've got three of them, how do I make them as ripe as possible as
quick as possible? They smell good at present... Do they smell good on the
outside but bad on the inside to most people?

I am using them for a "fear factor" type event so I need them to be as nasty
as possible for this Sunday. <grin>

well it might be nasty to some people but to others, it's the best fruit &
smell in the world. My Mrs loves the smell of durians but hates the
texture... she doesn't mind the taste as well.... & she ain't Asian! if you
want it nasty... look for Tempoyak or ferment durians in a sealed jar, not
many people like it & eat it... including Asians!

break open the durian & expose the soft fruit to air for a couple of days
until it turns brown or until your neighbours call the morgue.

Well, I'm "into" some strange foods so I think I might actually like it too.
And I'm Sicilian.

Can't do anything like that before Sunday... Except maybe the Tempoyak.
What is it? How is that pronounced?

Can't do that. My wife would kill me.

Yes. and then all those Mafia jokes I've been living with for all these
years wouldn't be so funny to the other neighbors any more...

Just to keep us really far off topic... Ya know why I've never seen a
single episode of the Soparanos? 'Cause when you live it, you don't have to
watch it on TV. LOL....

Tem- Po-Yak, it's a Malaysian/Indonesian delicacy. Look for it in a Asian
supermarket that specialises in Malaysian/Indonesian foodstuffs.

DC is spot on. Durian is a favorite of mine. Like his wife, I love the
smell, too. Perhaps because it's a harbinger of the coming taste. I'm
posting a pic of a tree ripened durain being opened at a farm in Thailand
on alt.binaries.food Ya can't get 'em like that in the States. ;-(

No shuff and sho nit! All I ever have seen is frozen/thawed ones. Usually they
have a nice coating of mold on the outside as well.
I hear that these compare to fresh durian like frozen strawberries do to fresh
ones. When is Hawaii gonna start sending their crop fresh to the states or
someone out in 'tropiCaliforny' gonna start growing durian?

So... It looks like I have a lot of work ahead of me trying to open these
things, huh?
