Tutu Tuesday


Tutu : Mommy says I make the most awful faces when I eat my favorite food in the world...DURIAN! I think she's wrong. I'm just very focused on the task of devouring the durian. Scroll down and tell me what you think!





Tutu : Do you see all the yummy, creamy goodness smeared all over my lips? MMMmmmmm
Tutu : HEY. I'm not done. Bring that back and nobody gets hurt
Just look at that tongue!
:: Uuurrrrrrrrpppppppppp! ::
Tutu : Are you sure that's it?
Tutu : So Furriends, what did you think? Was Mommy right?

DURIAN is called the King of Fruits and I, Tutu, am called the QUEEN of Durians! Yeahhhhhhhhhh!

Tutu Tuesday

Tutu : Whoa. What is this thing?
Whisky : I remember seeing this when I was much younger!
Whisky : Darn it. I forgot how sharp they are. OUCH!
Tutu : It smells really familiar and it's making my tummy rumble!
Tutu : The smell is tantalizing! I'll have to give it a nibble...
OUCHIE!
Silly girl, you have to get it out of the thorny jacket first
Tutu : Well then, HURRY UP!
Tutu : I can see it!!!
Tutu : Mmmmmmmmm
Tutu : NOW it LOOKS AND TASTES right!
Tutu : DURIAN!
Tutu : Oh Yummmm!
Tutu : That was lip smacking good!
Tutu : REALLY REALLY GOOD! And I can taste it all over again every time I burp. BURPPPPPPP!

Tutu Tuesday


Tutu : I have never smelt anything like this before
* S N I F F F F F F F F *
Tutu : Think I need to give it a little taste test
Tutu : And another....
Tutu : And take yet another long sniff at this interesting aroma
Tutu : Ahhh, Kitties, if you think tuna is stinky goodness, you should smell this! This is top of the class STINKY! I'm not decided on the goodness bit...
Whisky : I could smell this in my sleep! Ohhhh, I have not tasted you in a long while
Whisky : YUM!
Tutu : Did Whisky just say YUM? What am I missing? Give me another taste, Daddy!
Whisky : That was lip smacking good!
Tutu : Seriously? I still can't decide if I like this or not....
The fruit Daddy is holding is called a Durian (click HERE to see what the Durian looks like), also known as the King of Fruits in South East Asia. It is a love it or hate it kind of fruit, with many non-Asians going the "hate it" way. If I remember right, I think Durian was on Fear Factor before.  :)

And just a few days ago, there was an interesting news report in Australia with regards to the durian that made us laugh. Here's an excerpt from the article :

"The strong, pungent smell of the durians went into the ventilation system and reached the office next to ours on the 15th floor of the Market St building. The staff in the adjoining office, all Caucasians, panicked because they thought there was a gas leak ... they summoned the emergency services. The whole floor was evacuated within minutes," he said. 

But in all seriousness, Durian IS very yummy.  :)

The Furries and The King of Fruits

It was the durian season a little while back.  It's called the "King of Fruits" here and you either love it or hate it.  We've heard of very interesting and comical descriptions of this fruit by foreigners because of it's very pungent smell.  You can read a little more about durians here.
This is the flesh of the durian (after having to pry open the thorny husk)

Whisky LOVES durians!

Yummyyy...this durian is gooey....Uh Daddy?  Don't squish the durian!
Felix takes a sniff.  Think it's a "hate at first sniff" with him

This is Manny, who was boarding with us when we bought the durian

Ohhhhhh!  Me LIKEY!!!!!

I'll turn on my "cute face"....maybe the human will bring the fruit nearer.....

Don't be deceived by the pictures.  Whisky only got to eat a small bite of the durian.  Felix and Manny only got to smell it.  Heehee.
