Wow, you know your fruits. Yes, it's a durian fruit although jackfruit is also plentiful here in our place. Our city, Davao City, is also known as the durian capital of the Philippines. Hoping you find something in your gallery 🤞

I have no idea what that fruit is. We only have apples, aoples, apples, pears and a short period plums. The rest is imported.

Well we come from a tropical country, the Philippines, and we grow a lot of fruits. The durian fruit looks like this and has a thorny skin that can puncture you if you hold it the wrong way.

The jackfruit, on the other hand, looks like this. Its skin can look like the durian from afar but when close up is not thorny but grainy.

What we don't grow here are apples, pears and plums which we import.

As always your comments are more informative and helpful than the average post.
I never saw those fruits around here. I guess it's too expensive to import or people don't like it or we should eat ourselves through the coolers (cold stores) with apples first 🥴

A happy day!

Again, thank you for your support and encouragement ❤️ As I have mentioned before, I want this Challenge to succeed and will do anything to help with that including keeping you engaged so you can head hunt for more participants 😁

Oh, btw, if you're still interested with the mumbo jumbo art I mentioned in last Edition, I found the post. From three years back. Yep, that's how long ago it was. Click here. Be sure to read through the comments which might just convince you to hang these kind of art on your wall 😉

A Happy New Year to you as well. 😊

Yes, I am still interested and who knows I can do something with it for the Art & Artists community. Let me see who more I can invite. Good commenters are rare I can tell you.

Thanks for the effort and a great night/day.
🍀♥️

My pleasure. Have a great night or day yourself 😊🎆✨️

I miss this fruit. I found sometimes herebut it is so expensive. I rather bought in a can and satisfied my craving. Jackfruit is so yummy @wakeupkitty you can try it in a canned jackfruit in any grocery.

About durian, I don't like it. It caused the death of my Aunt too young. She ate durian after their dinner and she drank Pepsi.. It was the caused of her death. So please do not drink soda after eating durian.

Jackfruit is also good with taho @olivia08. Have you tried that already?

Are you sure it was the durian or was it the Pepsi? Soda with durian is very popular here and though there were cases of strokes and heart attacks while mixing both, it was determined those who had these attacks were already afflicted with hypertension and heart problems in the first place. Anyway, durian is an acquired taste. They say it smells like hell but tastes like heaven. It took my wife 5 years to even taste durian. But now, she loves them.

She stil doesn't like it. Did your wife loss her smell or? Because odor influences what we taste.
