Podcast: Durian Wars

Sometimes, even the most simple of tasks can become quite a challenge. Recently in Bangkok, a friend was having trouble opening a durian fruit, so I offered to lend a hand.

More friends were on hand to watch and record our herculean struggle on video. They were only using a small still camera, the Canon IXUS 850IS, so I didn’t really expect them to make it into a video.

…and no, this is not how I usually spend my time.

    Hilarious! No chainsaws handy for the massacre???? Pity. Saw these for sale in an outdoor market in Bali, and wondered how one handled them. Glad we didn’t buy one! Pat

    My goodness! The fruit was not yet ready to feed your stomach I’m afraid, otherwise it would be very easily handled by a screwdriver!
