Village Rantings: Durian Fiesta!

DURIANs... some call it the King of Fruits (others think the pineapple should be given that title instead).


But anyway, my recent trip to my village coincided with the durian season. My uncle decided that he would not sell the durians this year and so we had a lot to outselves! Durians for breakfast... lunch... and dinner!


My brother woke up with my uncle and cousin each morning to pick durians from the orchard. This pic below is one of the durian trees in the orchard.

My brother wanted something to show for his morning efforts so I took a few shots of him carrying an asang also known as a large basket.



The asang is carried on the back and used to carry large fruits or farm produce. In this case, durians!
Anyway, enough about durians. Here is my last pic on the subject of this delectable fruit - a pic of my brother and cousin sampling the yummy durians!
