On the market i visit every lunch i have made friends with a vietnamese man who i buy my fresh dates from. I asked him if he can get Durian and Jackfruit. He was saying that people dont like to import Durian unless its frozen because of the smell, and also apparently it is £55 for a case which only has 3 in it.
I said that ive always wanted to try it and he said that there was a little asian supermarket round the corner, (who knew!?) and last time he went in there they were selling frozen durian (yay!).
So i went there and asked the lady if they had Durian and she said that they dont and they wont be getting anymore back in as it is too expensive :(
Anyway, it wasn't a complete disappointment. they have HUGE white dragon fruit, mangosteen, Rambutan, Guava and god knows what else, i was far to excited to take it all in!
I bought some Rambutan and im a little disappointed. It looks like a lychee but not nearly as nice!
Im looking forward to mangosteen, the queen fruit!
