Peak Season

My former student has a Thai/white daughter, cute as a button. She is in Thailand. She may try durian.  - friend, November e-mail

Not the season for it, but they'll have some.  

Oysters also have seasons. Fall - early winter oysters in Maine are considered much better. Spring and summer, they are smaller. Still good, but not the peak. I would still enjoy them.

Lobsters also have peak seasons. You learn this when you travel to places like Maine: the differences between soft shell and hard shell lobsters. Soft shell lobsters have sweeter, more tender meat and are often better for lobster rolls. It's like eating veal vs an older steer. Young ones taste better. 😋

Malaysia has a definite peak period for durian. June - August possibly. But you can find them other months....just the quality and taste are far less predictable.  

Durian grows better during the hottest months, and with lots of rain. The more miserable the weather, the more they thrive.
