    OK, mimosas!


    Durian fruit- no idea
    Haggis- I can’t get past the description but I bet it’s served with a good whiskey
    Fried alligator I found it rather tasteless and very very chewy.

    I describe durian as a cross of putrid onions that fermented in spoiled vinegar and if possible to taste, toe jam or a teen's gym bag...It's illegal to take into a hotel or on mass transit. It's the only thing Andrew Zimmern can't eat (so far as I've seen on TV) Some people adore it (Boss said it was OK) but my durian was as close to jet propelled from my mouth in nanoseconds. Our guide had one in his car and had to wait a while before we could continue on our tour.
    Here's one writer's opinion:
    food writer Richard Sterling says: ... its odor is best described as pig-$hit, turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock. It can be smelled from yards away.
    My sentiments, exactly...
    PS--I ran out of bubbly 2 days ago. Mimosas are a waste of good orange juice, anyway!
