TEDD LiGGETT's phOTOGRAPH_oF_tHE_dAY #1839 \ dURiAN


tL's phOTOGRAPH_oF_tHE_dAY #1839 - The edible flesh of the Durian fruit emits a distinctive strong & penetrating odor even when the husk is intact. The fetid smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust and has been described variously as almonds, rotten onions, turpentine and gym socks. The odor has led to the fruit's banishment from certain hotels and public transportation.

the “King of Fruits” is grown in southeast Asia and is known for its unique odor, large size and a spiny oval, thorn-covered husk. The Durian fruit can grow as large as 12 by 6 inches and weights from 2 to 7 pounds.
