Yes, you should Not eat and drink alcohol with durian or deep fried food coz the energy build up will be too strong for the body to handle
Sounds like you have been listening to a Chinese Doctor Chewkw, my wife comes out with stuff like that all the time?
She is right. 😀
You can try but just may sure you have all the remedies ready just in case.
IMO some body type might be able to handle better than other but if you have high blood pressure then that combination might cause you severe harm. I wouldn't recommend experiment with that combination.
😀
I want to try this mysterious super energy fruit. In fact I'd love to try lots of different exotic fruits, line them all up and have a sample of each. Just looking online and it looks like all the exotic fruit providers just sell wholesale.

A nice pair.

You will be full of energy to do ... ahem ... sexy time with your partner I kid you not.
passion for me.. durian is indeed the king of fruits but I'd stick with my pomelo
One whiff of the durian by your other half and I guarantee you wont be having any sexy time whether you have energy or not 🙂
My all time favourite are home grown sweet juicy strawberries (not the elsanta variety, which supermarkets insist on selling to the public).
Or a mango,juicy peach and nectarines chopped up in a bowl. Omg starting to drool.
I like all fruit, especially if I've picked it myself, but I will have failed in life if I never get to go somewhere that grows Durian so that I can eat it fresh.
One day...
Haven't read all of the above but has anyone said 'forbidden' yet?
If not, why not?
Made me chuckle, although not really chuckling, more of a I'm a clever ****er for coming up with that...
Can't beat a properly ripe pear. Unfortunately there is usually about 5 microseconds between them being like bullets and turning to mush.
Passion fruit. Delicious.
Juicy firm succulent melons, not to big and not to small anymore than a handful is a waste.
Blackberry.
Crisp, cold, green apple.
Cherry.
wild strawberries - tiny little explosions of taste
Damn right! My garden is overrun with the buggers. No commercial strawberries come anywhere the taste.
Or mulberries,
yum!
Recently our taste in fruit has been dictated by my wife's athletic achievements. A couple of weeks ago se came second in a local trail running race and won 10kg of oranges and a big tin of olive oil and last week won her category in a Duathlon , the prize for which was a box of apples. The daughter of one of our friends won her class in the trail race and got the biggest tub of Nutella I've ever seen. We live in Cataluña by the way.
Tomato.
On the durian, my uncle claims he used to keep durian biscuits in a sealed pack in his desk. If anyone brought in fish and chips for lunch and stank the place out he would threaten them with opening the packet unless they popped back out to get him some. Whether this is true is questionable but having smelled durian cake I could see it working.
Last time i ate durian next day body felt incredibly hot and uncomfortable, Would second the advise and avoid alcohol and to eat mangosteen along with it,in the past its been fine eating them together,and mangosteen itself is seriously nice. Btw durian gives a bit of a stoned or drunk feeling . Local chinese supermarket sells them late summer for £20 each ish
Got to be cherries and ripe honey mango personaly though.
Where does one purchase fruit native to the arctic tundra?
You can buy cloudberry jam in IKEA.
Mango, we lived under a massive tree at one time and would gorge ourselves on ripe fruit. However I got quite addicted to the Bengali green unripe mango with salt and chilli. My mouth is watering thinking about it. Fresh papaya also.
Here my favourite is a cox straight off the tree.
Bird's eye chilis 😈
Can't beat a nice juicy pear
Preferably a Comice or Williams

yup, but not in all countries, and it's extortionately expensive
Bird's eye chilis
habaneros are fantastic fruit. ace flavour.
A perfectly ripe mango, preferably served in a Bhang Lassi on Palolem beach as Goan trance wafts in one ear then out the other, then back round again…and again….and again…. as it takes full effect 😀
IKEA Hallon & Blabar (sorry, can't do the accents) jam is awesome. Raspberry & Blueberry in English
We used to have pomelo, papaya, mango, Kabosu, jackfruit (the seed can be roasted/boiled and eat), wild durian (small with extra long torn), star fruit, mango (several types) and some wild bananas at my grandma house ... I mean in the garden or nearby bush.
Wild durians look like this ...

We often stop (in season) on a bike ride to eat tarap fruit.
Has anyone said soursop yet?

Plentiful in Borneo but not other part of the world as far as I know. Never seen them in other part of the world. Yes, opening the tarap up is something ... 😀

Ahhh ... missed that. We got a huge soursop tree in the back garden of my grandma's house and each night at sun down plenty of fruit bats large and small would have a party eating them. I ate a lot of them as a kid ... now they called them super fruit ... whatever ... they are damn sour ... 😆 We blend them up as a drink.
Hmm - with so many people liking Durian, we should organise a forum mountain bike trip to one of the following areas/seasons:
