And where there is Chinese appetite, there is money. In the highlands of Raub, and all across the south-east Asian country, farmers and landowners are tearing up traditional rubber and palm oil crops to harvest this mutant-looking native fruit instead.
而中国人的喜欢吃什么,什么就赚钱。在劳勿的高地,以及在东南亚的各个国家,农民和地主们把以前那些用来产橡胶和棕榈油的作物都给铲掉了,转而种这种看着像变异体的本地水果。
“When I started out, people all told me there was no money in durian, but that couldn’t be more different now,” said Lindsay Gasik, who has written a book on the fruit and runs durian tours across Asia.
Lindsay Gasik专门写了一本关于这种水果的书,并且在亚洲运营着榴莲之旅的活动,她说:“我刚开始做这些的时候,人们都跟我说榴莲不赚钱,但现在看来显然不是这么一回事。”
“I treat durian like a wine because it is like a wine – it is a living organism that changes and ferments over its lifespan, so you can really do a lot with the flavour. I think that’s what makes people so obsessive over it.”
“我像对待葡萄酒一样对待榴莲,因为它确实就像葡萄酒,它是一种一生都在变化、发酵的生命体,你能在它的味道上做出很多门道来。我想这就是为何人们那么迷恋它。”
Durian’s distinctive smell is infamous, but its flavour – at once sweet and savoury – adds to its divisiveness. Wallace described it as a “rich custard highly flavoured with almonds”. Feet, butterscotch pudding, ice cream and rotting eggs have also been used as comparisons.
