Do you prefer Kiwi or mango ?

that is if you had to choose ?

Hehe, very cool find, it is really funny to see them all back to back like that.

Still, I feel like the US IC is really pussied out compared to the original. It seems like 90% of the "secret ingredients" are just so f'in safe. Isn't the point of IC to be able to improvise with something that you are not entirely familiar with? Chocolate? Mango? CHICKEN? REALLY? CHICKEN? I'm sorry but there is absolutely nothing secret about chicken damnit.

Cool video tho.

Durian is interesting, sweet mixed with onion. I had it a few times in the Philippines and was acquiring a taste for it. Philippine mangoes (like the one in the video) are awesome too, much better than the red and green skinned kind.

So... Which anime is this?


Banana Mango Highschool.

Banana Mango indeed, girls. Banana mango indeed.

I moved to Thailand to teach English about 2.5 years ago. Here, Durian is the "king of fruit" (Mangosteens are the "queen"). Durian is quite popular with most Thais, but some say they don't like the smell and/or taste.

Durian is sold at many markets and local shops where I live (Uttaradit province for anyone familiar with Thailand). If there is a large amount of them, particularly if any have been cut open, I can smell them from fairly far away; say 4 meters or 12 feet or so. I had heard about them before I came here, and had expectations of them having an indescribably horrendous smell, but even when I first encountered them I didn't think that the smell was very bad.

At first, I thought it was mildly objectionable, but less so than any of the smells commonly used to describe it (rotten meat, etc.). I don't really agree with any of the things I've heard the smell compared to. I've never heard anyone compare it to vomit before, I definitely don't agree with that one. Smelling vomit almost instantly makes me want to vomit also, I have to plug my nose quickly to avoid that reaction.

I tried eating durian after I had been here about 6 months or so. In that first tasting, I thought that the taste was notably different than the smell. It has a very strange consistency for a fruit; it is soft and creamy, and can get to be almost pudding-like as it ripens. It has lightly fibrous strings in it, sort of like the stringy bits inside a banana peel -- not at all strong. I don't know how to describe the taste other than to say it reminds me of cream liquors, minus the alcohol of course. In my first tasting I thought that it was good, but nothing too special -- particularly when compared to all the other fantastic fresh fruits here (mangosteens are a personal favorite, along with mango, papaya, etc.)

Since then I have developed a taste for it, and eat it pretty regularly when it is in season. I enjoy the flavor a lot now, and I even have come to enjoy the smell of it. I never had a violent reaction to the smell like the test subject in this video. I am not sure if that is genetic, cultural, or if there are varieties of durian elsewhere in SE Asia that have a stronger smell. Some of the other westerners that I know here have developed a taste for it like I have, and some hate it.

This time, at band camp....
I wonder if Africans find them as annoying as I do.

Not band camp! Apparently some 'ORU' goodwill-type-mission - which you can't really knock 'em for, Jesus-freaks or not.


I dunno, I'd like to know more about what they did there before I decide as to whether they need knocking or not... If all they did was go around and tell the poor poor savages about the wonders of Jesus, they can go and get mango larva on their vaginas for all I care...

Exactly what part of her body is at the 6m mark?

Also: the sounds she is making, reminds me of a "very first anal" video.

Are mango flies the same as bott flies? Because those look a lot like bott fly larvae.


From Wikipedia: Cordylobia anthropophaga, the mango fly, tumbu fly, putzi fly or skin maggot fly is a species of blow-fly common in East and Central Africa. It is a parasite of large mammals (including humans) during its larval stage [1].C. anthropophaga has been endemic in the subtropics of Africa for more than 135 years and is a common cause of myiasis in humans in the region.[2]

Its specific epithet anthropophaga derives from the Greek word anthropophagus, "eater of men".

And then bott flies, from another source:

Bot flies (Order Diptera, Family Cuterebridae) are large, stout bodied, hairy flies that resemble bumblebees. The botfly egg is deposited by a mosquito or sometimes by another insect. The larva grows in the host's body until it is fairly large. The botfly larva can easily be killed by taking away its air supply -- by putting vaseline or similar on the skin where the lump is, but then you still have to extract the larva.

Very similar, but not the same, no.

Are mango flies the same as bott flies? Because those look a lot like bott fly larvae.

edit - actually, they look a lot smaller, but maybe they were just in an earlier stage than the ones I've seen.. ?

edit 2 - Now that I've watched the whole thing.. PRAISE JESUS! THANK YOU JESUS FOR PUNISHING ME FOR MY SINS!
