I was in a market in Viet Nam a couple of summers ago and became aware of a horrible smell. I thought there must be a dead rat someplace that was decomposing.

It was the durian.

>> durian

don't like it alone, but I do like it ccovered in white chocolate.  I hate white chocolate. No idea why putting two nasty things together makes them both ok.

The funny thing is, aside from strawberry-rhubarb pie about which I have no strong feelings etiher way, that looks like the list of foods *I* hate.

Jello. Yuck! Of course the most disgusting meal I've ever had was "aspic" everything in Switzerland which was basically like clear jello with things like broccoli and asparagus in it.
