Too many durians?

In case you don't know, durians are a) an exotic fruit delicacy, b) one of the smelliest and repugnant fruits known to man, or c) both.   There are bans all over Southeast Asia about carrying or consuming the insides of the spiky fruits in public, on buses, in hotels, you name it.  Apparently it's an 'acquired' taste;  I'd like to try it once just to say I did.



Well, global warming is increasing the durian crop, which may or may not be a good thing, depending on your olfactory or culinary point-of-view.
