ANYTHING with avocados!

I'd have to say avocado wedges wrapped with fresh wild pacific salmon.

But durians are also delicious, and OJ with egg yolks can often be very very good.

Mmm! Avocado wrapped with raw salmon sounds sooo good! I'll have to try that soon. I just started the diet yesterday, so I'm excited to see what it does for my acne, see if I lose a couple pounds, and cellulite. I tried egg yolk mixed with freshly juiced orange juice this morning, and it was delicious! It'll be fun to experiment with this diet.

I want to try durian!!!! I hope they have some at Whole Foods... anybody know?

[BlueFrog]

No idea. The asian Markets around here have them. They're usually frozen even when fresh because they can be very pungent if they aren't. They taste like pickeled pumpkin with lots of onion to me.

Olives are my favorite food on this diet. I just bought 5 lbs. of fresh ones yesterday. I have to find a good recipe for salt curing. After they're cured I just dump the brine and replace it with low mineral water. This removes alot of the salt and is every bit as delicious!

good idea but wount d salt remain in d olives 2 much?

Durian! King of fruits.... I could live on durian alone...
It's easy to get fresh here in Copenhagen, Denmark. But it is expensive though.

I've never had fresh durian before, only frozen. It tasted bland, and smelled nasty. I heard that animals come from far to eat durian, but I'm not sure whether that's because it's so good, or just because they can smell it from afar...

I spent 21 bucks on a 6-pound jackfruit, only to have it completely inedible. No taste, no flavor, no sweetness, barely any flesh, only rubbery fibers that are, literally, like rubber bands.

Eeks!

I found this:
One of the earliest descriptions of the Jackfruit is to be found in the 16th century memoirs of the Mughal Emperor Babur, who was not much enamoured of it:

"The jackfruit is unbelievably ugly and bad tasting. It looks exactly like sheep intestines turned inside out like stuffed tripe. It has a cloyingly sweet taste. Inside it has seeds like hazelnuts that mostly resemble dates, but these seeds are round, not long. The flesh of these seeds, which is what is eaten, is softer than dates. It is sticky, and for that reason some people grease their hands and mouths before eating it. The fruit is said to grow on the branches, the trunk, and the roots of the tree and looks like stuffed tripe hung all over the tree".

Seems like jackfruit tastes like jack...nevermind...

Actually I have eaten it in indonesian dishes in the past.
