Durian anyone?

Now here's an interesting fruit ! - Link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-33404940

I have eaten them, and indeed they are very nice, but the smell of the unopen pods is awful to say the least !!

 

Heard of them, never tried them.

 

They look like moo poo, smell like moo poo and by christ they taste like moo poo!
I spent some time in SE Asia when they were in season and they still tasted god awful when fresh - give me Lychees or Mangos any day of the week.
Just my opinion though - if you haven't tried them give it a go. Frankly I'd rather have another witchetty grub.

 

Agree, the stink is awful, I don't think they are allowed in Hotels or on planes (except as cargo).
I held my nose walking through a market in Singapore!!!!

 

Never tried it, the smell was bad enough. I remember many signs on hostels in China quite clearly stating ' NO DURIAN!!!'
