Last night had to take cab back home, as stayed in church quite late with the play set up. The uncle who drove me was a chatty, bald, moustached Indian fella, who had lotsa interesting stories and theories. One of the ones that's closest to his heart is that the durian is the ORIGINAL fruit from the Tree of Life that God forded Adam and Eve to consume in the Garden of Eden. Why that line of reasoning? Because the durian has" the smell of hell, and the taste of paradise"....
Go figure that one out... :p
It seems like our Caucasian brothers don't really like the taste and smell of this fruit. Check out one of their thoughts:
wow...have never seen durians with red meat before...interesting...

ReplyDeleteEh... are u sure they are not photoshopped?! As much as I like pink, that looks a little too gross to be edible...

Quote: "This red durian is – sacrilege to durian lovers elsewhere- fried with onions and chilli and served as a side dish or sambal."
ReplyDeleteYucks. *shivers*
Tell uncle next time you see him, it doesn't matter what was the original forbidden fruit. It could have been an apple or durian, but the fact remains that there was a forbidden fruit (which he acknowledges), and that all man have sinned and fall short of the glory of God through that.
ReplyDeleteThen share the gospel. Hee.. PDA...
Hahaha... Way to go! Making use of every opportunity to share the gospel of Christ! Learning from you, brother =)
ReplyDeleteOne English man describes durian as "taste like custard but smells like toilet".
