Sorta like my youngest sibling. One of my grandmother's church ladies
addressed him as "Bobby" one time and he puffed up and told her in on
uncertain terms "My name is Robert!" Friends and family could call him 
"Rob" not absolutely no Bob or Bobby.

I asked him how he got along in the Navy ... he said most Chiefs and 
Officers called him "Drum" which was also acceptable.

Lack of supply?

      Title: Durian Ice Cream
 Categories: I scream, Exotic, Desserts
      Yield: 3 Servings
 
      6    Segments fresh durian; as
           - needed to make 4 oz (115g)
           - durian paste
      2 lg Egg yolks
      3 tb Granulated sugar; to taste
      1 ts Vanilla essence
      1 c  Light cream
      1 c  Whole milk
 
  While durian is not native to China, both China and Hong
  Kong are major import markets for this distinctive looking
  fruit. The sweet flavor and thick texture of durian makes it
  perfect for ice cream. Use fresh durian if possible.
  
  Remove the seeds from the durian. Use an electric mixer to
  mix the flesh into a paste. Press the paste through a fine
  sieve. You should have 4 ounces durian paste at this point.
  (If not, use more durian). Chill the durian paste until
  ready to use.
  
  In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the vanilla essence
  and sugar.
  
  Bring the milk and cream to a near boil over medium heat.
  Reduce the heat to low. Pour in the egg mixture, stirring
  constantly to thicken. Take care not to let the mixture
  boil, or the milk will curdle (if you see bubbles forming at
  the edge of the saucepan, take it off the stove element).
  
  Allow the custard to cool. Chill the custard in the freezer
  for 30 to 45 minutes, until it is just beginning to harden.
  Gradually stir in the durian paste, a tablespoon at a time.
  
  Either continue freezing, stirring several times throughout,
  or finish the ice cream in an ice cream maker.
