Durian is good stuff. It is definitely an acquired taste. The bad smell of it is not that bad. Once you start to eat it, it really tasts sweet and yummy.

You guys should try dragonfruit. My grandma has a tree in her backyard and the fruit is sweet, has a great texture, and is thirst quenching.

I've heard of that fruit but have never tried it. It's very rare, I think. Oh yeah, I also just love watermelon. It's a good thing that watermelon is abundant here.

Russian, this is very typical of most Americans, but once you've tried them...uhmmmm...so darn good. And if you could get them fresh, they are to die for.

It may not be very hard to grow them in states like CA or FL. But in any case, importation is very easy. It's just that there are not much demands because most Americans have not tried them.

Tritium, those are longans, if I'm not mistaken.

Those Lansones look like another fruit that I liked, but don't know its name. It's almost non-existent in the States.
