Durian Tasting!

On of our favorite students, Kitti, brought around durian for the GVI team to try. Durian is known as the 'king of fruits' and is quite unique in appearance, flavor and smell. The hard, spiky shell makes the fruit a challenge to get into. Once the fruit is broken into segments the golden fruit is revealed in all it's glory. Known to have such a strong smell that some hotels bear signs telling people not to bring in the fruit people tend to find it's a fruit they either love adoringly or absolutely detest. The flavor is rich and custardy and is incomparable to any other fruit out there.

Volunteers and staff had the opportunity to sample Kitti's durian. As you can see from the picture, the fruit went over with mixed reviews!
