There was an organization that was helping Southeast Asian immigrants get a
foothold here in the SF Bay Area a while back; among other things it helped
several people start restaurants, and, as part of its marketing program on
how to attract a broad-based patronage, specifically advised against
keeping durian on the premises and serving it. I'll admit I haven't been
able to acquire an appreciation for this fruit.
