Durian is a lovely fruit. I like the smell and the taste. Here in Thailand is durian season, for the last few weeks plenty of roadside stalls selling the fruit, between $3 and $7 a kg.

Now an odourless durian from Thailand.

No it does not and Hawaiian people will almost certainly deny any connection.

PS> Put pieces of Pineapple on any Pizza and it becomes “Hawaiian Pizza”.
