I feel the same way about broccoli ‘‘tis baby trees, the work of Satan imho.

Now i'm worried my 3yr old daughter loves broccoli , personally hate the stuff myself and watch in amazement as she eats it like chocolate!

It's OK Mr R she is with a good crowd, love the stuff

The moment he came back on the bus you could smell the fruit it was totally overpowering. Apparently it’s so bad it’s banned from all public transport & even taxis. After a while, at the next stop he cut the fruit up & offered it to the group, I passed but asked a lady who tried it what’s it like. She said it was a combination of savoury, sweet & cream. It’s supposed to taste like diced garlic & caramel.
The strange was we had just visited a farm that was letting you see ( for $10 each ) a rafflesia plant which was a very smelly plant. All in all a strange/smelly day

I love Mangosteen fruit and have it all the time when i visit Bali, really nice!!!!

I’ve read about durian fruit but never seen it but I don’t think I would be bothered about eating it if I’m honest.

They taste absolutely gorgeous, like pockets of custard only better, but smell like a sewer'

Durian is very nice to eat, I've eaten it on a number of occasions here in the Philippines, I dislike the smell but it does have that sweetness and creamy texture to it. The one thing that people don't realize though is that it raises the blood pressure. When i first came to the Philippines to live five years ago i went to a funeral of my wife's classmate who died as a result of overindulgence of Durian, alcohol and squid Durian and squid being the culprits of raising his blood pressure to a level he never recovered from. Its very common here because of the mainly rice diets.

I will try to upload some of the more exotic fruits for you guys soon. if i can figure out how to upload them again....
