Penalty for durians on the Singapore subway

Must make good insect bait then.

But Asians love to eat them. They're an
expensive fruit, smell or not.

Asians love chicken feet also, doesn't mean one should cook some up.

There's a scene in Deadwood where the
guy who shoots Wild Bill buys some feet
at a sidewalk stand. He takes one bite and
spits it out, saying 'That ain't food'.

I read that one reason we have a hard time exporting feet to China is the USDA does not inspect the chix until after the feet are removed. China will not import un-inspected food from us, same as we won't from them. To have the USDA inspect required a cost-prohibitive remodel. I read thin in about 2000, no idea how it ended up.

The reason they didn't inspect was nobody ever thought people would eat them.

I wonder if they become crunchy. Chicken feet don't look very edible uncooked.

IIRC you suck the meat out of them sort of like crab legs.

What bothers me is the inconsistency of the sign.

Does that strike you as a trifle OCD?



My guess is that the police confiscate your Durian but they don't fine you.


I suppose you could wear a t-shirt and when someone asks you what a Durian is, you could open up a container and show them. This is not a conversation opener that is likely to get you laid.


I just remember Andrew Zimmerman on the pilot for his show eating raw pig's testicles, frog sashimi, plus the frog's beating heart, giant snails, turtle blood with sake and turtle hearts, chicken butts, rooster balls, fruit bat , fermented shrimp paste, horseshoe crab, and fish maw.

But he couldn't bring himself to eat durian. I think that says it all.

Sometimes bad smells are so similar to good smells. A skunk spray to me smells quite similar to the smell of fresh brewed coffee. Cat poop smells like Taco Bell.

That's because both smell awesome.
