As a pomologist, I was fascinated with the bipolar reports of the durian. It sounded like an addiction type process–those that could get it past their noses and taste it loved it, otherwise it was pure revilement. On actually encountering them, I was dissapointed. O.K., but not worth the bother, neither wonderful nor awful.
Lychees,on the other hand are wonderful, and yes, their texture is reminiscent of other delights.
