when I was living in Sydney I used to eye up the durians at the local fruit store, intrigued by their backstory and their hedgehoggy, pine cone appearance - but I was flatting with a German woman who was fastidiously neat and would cry if I put things the wrong way up on the dish draining board or didn’t polish the taps, and I didn’t think I could get away with bringing one home.
It is true that the one time in my life I have eaten fresh durian, it was opened in the middle of a parking lot by a friend with a reenactment bollock dagger, so I don't think of them as especially neat.
(I loved it, though.)
Thank you for these answers! I don't think I've ever read Bruce Carter.
