Durian: love it or hate it?

[sixone]

Aww, you still refer to her as your girlfriend? So I assume she declined your proposal then? Smart girl.

Didn't you see her hand in the photo? She must not have been able to get her parents to consent.

Who was the first person to eat that and what were they thinking????

Lobster is delicious so hopefully this ugly ass fruit is the same.

Not only did Andrew try it once, he tried it a second time to make sure he hated it.

I've heard the taste of Durian described as being similar to rotten, mush onions. No way I'd eat it.

 

[TXHokie]

Love it. Fruit of the gods...mere mortals cannot appreciate it. Durian ice cream is awesome too.

Perhaps they're shipped here from SE Asia not fully ripened? I've never tried it. The last time I came close to it was in botany class. A classmate brought it in and seemed to be thawed (previously frozen due to shipment?). But the science building had emergency evacuation--thinking there was a gas leak. ahaha

Where can I get those to throw at people?

That's some seriously cool looking fruit. ...and when you open it up you are treated to several sections that look like enormous maggots. Awesome!

asian markets.

I love snacks (cakes/cookies/candies/etc.) with its flavor but I can't eat the darn thing by itself. Too strong.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Someone get one and make little bite size pieces and hand them out to trick or treaters.

My ex-wife is originally from Malaysia and loves durian. Me, I tend to stay away from it. However I do love durian candy (the 'garlicky strawberries in an outhouse' flavour isn't as strong in the candy).

 

[Mermaidman]

Durian is delicious to me and I tried it for the first time 3 years ago. . . . The fruit is a pain n the ass to open though.

You're not supposed to sit on it.

People who eat Durian tend to also be into scat.

 

[IronWing]

Wasn't Durian that dwarf lord who fell down the stairs and drowned in the LotR?

 

[Zorander]

I like durian though I won't go out of my way to buy it. Then again, I grew up eating it so it's as normal as eating chicken/beef/pork.

 

[SKORPI0]

Grew up eating it one a while. Fruit tasted okay. Not so with the smell at first, but got used to it.

Nope that was Durin III in LotR.

 

[Pray To Jesus]

noob Durian is delicious if you get the right ones

People who eat Durian tend to also be into scat.

Durian...a blast of fart in every bite.

I got it as far as in my mouth but then had to spit it out. The smell is atrocious and smell must contribute to taste somehow.
