LOVE it or hate it (though most Malaysians love it!) durians are a fact of life in our part of the world. Being such an integral part of the local culture, no visit from a foreign relative or friend is complete without dragging your hapless relation to a durian store to see where on the "acquired taste" spectrum they fall on.
Once considered a seasonal fruit, nowadays the mighty durian is available all year around though some have wondered if this was actually a good thing.
