Old Feet Pie

This is a picture of a durian.

This is a picture of a man who wants to die.

Durian is (in)famous for its smell. Its terrible, terrible smell. You always know when the grocery store has ‘em in stock, ’cause you can smell it out on the gods-damned street. The bizarre thing, I always thought, was not the durian itself, but how popular it is just as a flavour. Durian ice cream, durian candies, durian popsicles … and (as is shown here) durian pies.

I eventually got over my aversion and, in the form of this small pie, dipped my toes gingerly into the viscous pool of durian adventure.
