Pluots. Yep, I ate my first one last decade, I think. Tasted a few this past weekend at the market. None were crisp like apples, though, at least to me.
The smelly fruit. I believe that's durian. It's available in Asian markets out here. The smell is definitely strong and offensive to some. My mom's favorite gelato place in San Francisco, Marco Polo, makes durian gelato. She's not a durian fan, though she tried it the last time we were there. I neither love nor hate durian. Have had it in a few different ways, including a milkshake. Perhaps I'll FedEx one to you someday.
