Itinerary:
Join Brent and Rhonda in the back yard to try the stinkiest fruit known to mankind. The unusual flavour and odor of the fruit have prompted many people to express diverse and passionate views ranging from deep appreciation to intense disgust. The odor has led to the fruit's banishment from certain hotels and public transportation in southeast Asia. Food writer, Richard Sterling says "its odor is best described as pig-shit, turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock". Last summer, Brent and Rhonda bought and tried a frozen durian, and also apparently cut it the "wrong" way. This summer we'd like to try a fresh one, and invite some of our friends along for the experience. See Rhonda & Brent Eat a Durian. Bring your own beverage, and a snack to share. Anything mundane and edible welcome, but something more interesting and exotic to make our experience even that much more enjoyable would be great too. We will do our best to procure enough fresh durians for everyone to have a small taste. Please RSVP - these things are not only stinky... they're very expensive. We want to make sure we buy enough, but not "more than enough". If we can't get the durians for this date, we'll postpone, but since we live close to T&T it shouldn't be a problem.
Required Items to Bring: - Your own beverage - A snack to share - Your sense of adventure Recommended Items to Bring:
