what the hell is that bright yellow liquid? is there an animal in there? Did I just cut through some exotic parasite pupae? ill

OMG!!!! mad so mad right now!!


From my experience with this fruit that it is acid but mild in flavor and served as a desert with sorbet. I would return those you have bought back where you got them as these are clearly overripe to rotten.

Latex as found in nature is the milky sap of many plants that coagulates on exposure to air. It is a complex emulsion in which proteins, alkaloids, starches, sugars, oils, tannins, resins and gums are found. In most plants, latex is white, but some have yellow, orange, or scarlet latex.

U should get your tatooed ass over to Singapore & try their "Stinky" fruit! It smells like an overflowing septic tank! Apparently if U can get past the stink, it' meant to be nice! confused
Next time U go to the Gold Coast head to Tropical Fruit World! U & the kids will love it! Also while U're there there's a special Kiwi Fruit on the Gold Coast! wink

you can get durian at Springvale lol we had one here and I thought there was rotting garbage in the bag falloff The master said it was like mango crossed with onion lol

Anyway, don't buy mangosteens at safeway, that's the moral of this story confused


Durians are delicious. Some types don't even smell that bad. They're bloody sticky and messy to eat though. mad

Nothing beats rambutans drool



If you peel the outside off and leave them in the fridge for a day they taste even better. 30 cents a kilo when they're in season. thumbs up!
