How many of you tried Durian fruit?
 

I'm watching some TV show about weird foods and they are talking about durian right now. I remember having one in Asia. Talking about nasty!!!!

It tastes, and smells like bile, dirty socks, and shit, all at the same time.

I gagged when I tried a small piece. I could NOT get over the smell.

I hear you We bought one in plastic zip lock bag that was supposed to be even better. Left it in the kitchen and almost died next morning.

It smells bad but tastes ok. :)

It actually taste good once you get over the smell...

Ugh.. It probably melted the bag!

My nose is stronger than my taste buds. I just couldn't do it.

The smells stinks but the taste is fantastic :)

what does it look like?

SMELLS Horrible .. fucked my whole car up when it was in the trunk for like 2 hours. worse then the B.O. episode of Seinfeld

smells like dog shit, I couldn't eat it

I love it, you only have to get used to the smell.

Tastes great, smells like urine.

Many years ago, like 10+ I was in Singapore for 6 weeks. Every hotel room had listed on the card on the back of each door things like "No guests after 11, no smoking, no cooking, no this no that" and they ALWAYS ended with "No Durian Fruit allowed in the rooms". Always made me chuckle.

A couple of times, it tastes better then it smells, but that's not saying too much. Apparently in Thailand, I was told when there once, that the most highly prized ones are those eaten whole by elephants, and shat out undigested. Not sure how that could improve the flavour, but people do eat weird shit.

tried it yes the smell is horrible gotta agree

no way dude but i hear it taste so good only very bad smell :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

it taste great you just need to cover your nose while eating. lol! :thumbsup

Those are really big aren't they? thats all i know about them

The five cells are silky-white within, and are filled with a mass of firm, cream-coloured pulp, containing about three seeds each. This pulp is the edible part, and its consistence and flavour are indescribable. A rich custard highly flavoured with almonds gives the best general idea of it, but there are occasional wafts of flavour that call to mind cream-cheese, onion-sauce, sherry-wine, and other incongruous dishes. Then there is a rich glutinous smoothness in the pulp which nothing else possesses, but which adds to its delicacy. It is neither acid nor sweet nor juicy; yet it wants neither of these qualities, for it is in itself perfect. It produces no nausea or other bad effect, and the more you eat of it the less you feel inclined to stop. In fact, to eat Durians is a new sensation worth a voyage to the East to experience. ... as producing a food of the most exquisite flavour it is unsurpassed.

... its odor is best described as pig-shit, turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock. It can be smelled from yards away. Despite its great local popularity, the raw fruit is forbidden from some establishments such as hotels, subways and airports, including public transportation in Southeast Asia

Yeap Durian fruit really smells so bad but when you taste it, it tastes great.

I've always wondered with foods like this....who was the first idiot to say "that smells like a big dog turd...but I think I'll try eating it anyways"

ditto - it tastes great.
Too bad it smells beyond horrid---it's like a combo of vomit and crap.

tastes not that bad, but like said already the smell is pretty yukkie

Never tasted that fruit but from what I've seen it's really spiky

i wonder where in the world does that stinky smell coming from when the taste is really good. :disgust

HAhaha - I totally agree. Though not necessarily an idiot, maybe adventurous? I wonder how many people have died or gotten violently ill thinking the same thing and being wrong.

I wouldn't mind trying it though to be honest. :winkwink:

Maybe it was the same guy who said "Let's drink milk out of a cow's tit and ooooh, we can let it spoil and it tastes good too!" :thumbsup

You made me laugh... I lost smells after a throat cancer surgery (or 3) and tastes too but still find it funny.

i had an ex from singapore that ate that crap. i could not get near her for some time

never even heard of it :(

taste good but eww smells bad

yeah its the "heaven & hell" fruit, smells horrible, but tastes good...

I both smelled it and tasted it and both part sucks...

"They say" it smells bad, but tastes good.. but I completly disagre, it tastes like shit

Here in asia, there's a saying that if its safe for the monkey, its safe for you. monkeys, particularly orangs love it. But I once saw a monkey tasting another monkey's pee... i just had to draw the line somewhere.

the smell is unbearable!!! my gf was just eating it yesterday, fucking nasty smelt up my whole apartment

There's lot of durian in PI. Thre's even a hotel in souther PI calles "The Durian Hotel"

But guess what, guest are prohibited to bring durian fruit inside the hotel because once you open a durian fruit inside a carpeted room, the stink will stay on the carpet for weeks! even the carpet shampoo cant help.

I cant bear the taste and of course the smell of durian, my wife once asked me to try the durian ice cream... guess what...


It's still smells! :Oh crap:Oh crap:Oh crap

Smells bad, taste fine

k, I'm in for trying this stuff out.

you sure that smell wasnt coming from her vagina?
