When i was in davoa my fiancee was adament that she get some durian as it was the season and on my first trip i hadnt tried it so she bought one from a roadside vendor and took it back to our apartment
Safely stored in the cupbord that was ok but when she brough ti out and decided to start cutting it up ahhhhhhhhhhh i had ot go outside it was so strong that i couldnt even try to sleep the smell kept annoying me so much .
I watched the u tube balot vids and i can relate to them really well on my first trip i was befriended by an american and his lovely wife and she said that i must try balut being nieve i said okay no wories , greg said many times you dont want to do this but i pressed ahead
Well i was gaging on it lorna thought i was choking and grg couldnt stop laughing anyway after a while i finished it my fiancee just swallowed hers whole no worries , that is the last bulot i ever have forever i mean it never again , my fiancee cooked dry fish one night but it didint bother me and we ate bangus quite a lot didnt have nay problems , ok well each to there own what is this stuff that stinks so much what is in it anyway ?

When we come back form Palawan to Pangasinan Ligaya brings about 20 kilos of "deelies" small stinky dried fish which she can sell at a big enough profit to offset the excess baggage charge and also give out as pasalobong. Most of the Purok come by and purchase these, they love them but boy do they stink!!!
