can't tell me this isn't skilled labor 🥑💨

@yurnidiot

context:

harvesting #durian in the #philippines or #thailand

someone up high is cutting off the fruit and dropping it down

it's a heavy hard fruit, a hit to the noggin is definitely life threatening, and durian has killed

it also has lots of big sharp spikes, that's how it catches in the burlap

i'd be dead within the first hour of work

@benroyce @yurnidiot Durian is also something I’ve got to try (eat, not harvest) some day

@mirabilos @yurnidiot

It's good. Make sure it's the right ripeness level.

Think garlic custard.

@benroyce @yurnidiot I doubt I can get it at anything resembling the right ripeness level in Europe though.

But, mmmmh garlic 🧄😻

@mirabilos @yurnidiot get it frozen. any asian grocery store probably has it. also small package/ a lot cheaper and if you don't like it you aren't stuck with a whole damn stinking durian. won't be the same but at least it will be what it's supposed to be rather than underripe/ overripe
