I love rambutan. It should be more popular here, since you can
probably grow the trees up north.

They do grow up north. I guess there isn't a big enough market down
south, or they don't transport very well.

Yes, or maybe they have a short shelf life. I only once saw them at an
Asian supermarket towards Gold Coast.

Looks interesting. Never had rambutan or durian but would try them.
Durian can be found around here and one day I'll give it a try.

Same with me. I'd like to try both and breadfruit too. Guess I'll
finally have to visit my local Asian market. It's not far from
here...less than 3 miles but so far I've never been. Cshenk has
been there. From what Steve posted years ago (a picture from his
asian market), they also sell a huge variety of ramen noodles,
not made in america, and many varieties. Nothing like we see in
US supermarkets.

Understood.

Much like "Kefir" and "Natto" and "Chipotle".

Weird foods that some folks like.

I don't think that I could handle the really sour straight kefir. I get
the fruit flavoured stuff. It's like a milkshake, but it seems to still
have that tonic effect that the real stuff has.

Yes, please try durian and report back I suggest consuming it
outside. Otherwise you'll be living in that smell for a few days.

I can handle the smell too. For an hour. Not for 3 days!

Yes, those cheeses can be like that, but getting a similar smell after
you cut upon a fruit is weird.

You should try breadfruit. That stuff is laden with latex sap that gets everywhere. I had the darndest time getting that sap off my knives, cutting board, and pot. However, do not take my word for it. It's a lot more fun to experience this yourself.

Yeah but did you cut that up raw? From what I've read for years,
it should be slow baked whole before eating. I don't know though,
that's for sure.

It's been an islander's staple food for centuries. Just sounds
worth giving it a try.

If I'm not mistaken, isn't that what Capt. Bligh went to Tahiti
for? To bring many breadfruit plants back to the Caribbean or
somewhere? Conflicts happened and did cause the "Mutiny on the
Bounty" situation.

Mel Gibson was ****ed. lol

There's several ways to cook ulu. I chose to boil mine. That required that the fruit be cut up. The HMS Bounty was sent to Tahiti to acquire breadfruit to send to the West Indies colonies to produce cheap food for their slave labor. As I recall, the people there did not much care for the stuff.
