Found this on the wikipedia page for durians:quote:There is saying that when a person smells Durian for the first time the smell is bad but if they eat it the next time they smell the fruit is smells very good to them.

I got some durian paste as part of a Goon snack exchange, and fed it to my little brother who was always talking poo poo about how he wanted to eat durian, but our mother wouldn't get any for him. The pictures exist somewhere here on Something Awful and tell a story of pain and disgust.

I've never had a durian, but one description I heard from some food writer or someone always stuck with me: "it's like eating a custard while sitting in a sewer"

I didn't have too much of a problem eating it, but the resulting durian burps later brought up the scent of rotten onions and spoiled cheese with every breath and led to me puking in the backyard.

I love Durian, especially Durian coconut candy. I will defend Durian to my dying day. When an Asian grocery store popped up near my house and I got a big bag of the candy, the salesperson (who is my neighbor) insisted i would hate it and they'd only put it on the shelf to prank unsuspecting hipsters. Now when I go in she keeps getting me to try other Durian things. The soda was the only one I despised. That being said, it tastes like candied onions and the burps taste like roadkill farts. But I like that.

Yes, it tastes like old onions, kind of like those Funion fried onion chips if they went very stale

Pharmaskittle posted:I've never had a durian, but one description I heard from some food writer or someone always stuck with me: "it's like eating a custard while sitting in a sewer" This is pretty much accurate, it has a nice texture and sweetness but it smells like rotting garbage. It's not worth the effort when you can make actual custard pretty easily.

I had durian a couple of times and I threw up every time. The smell alone is enough to get me to dry heave. It smells like garbage, tastes like garbage, and is garbage. My dad's side of the family can't get enough of it though

Can we still talk about durians? I hope we can still talk about durians, because they're the only things my home country Indonesia produces besides clove cigarettes and ultraviolent action movies. My dad is one of those people who thinks durians smell like the devil's rear end in a top hat and tastes like mana from heaven. When he learned that a restaurant that exclusively made durian martabak pancakes opened and went out of business entirely while my dad was out of the country, I think he wanted to kill himself. Me, I think they don't smell that bad and that they just taste all right. Thank you for letting me talk about durians. I get this opportunity maybe once or twice every general election cycle. Here's a picture of a happy durian!

Caufman posted:My dad is one of those people who thinks durians smell like the devil's rear end in a top hat and tastes like mana from heaven. Durian is an odd fruit. For most people, they smell like a bucket of poo poo. Hotels in Asia ban them as carrying a slice of durian in your bag to your room will elict the same response as that poo poo-bucket: Not only will the elevator stink so bad that some people will dry heave, but it will persist for 30 mins after the carrier has gone. Eat that durian in your room and not only will the room stink, but so will the hallway outside and people in the surrounding rooms will call reception to complain that their toilet has backed up. However, for some people, it has no bad smell. (I think it is something like 30% of Asians and 10% of Caucasians). To me, it smells as bad as bubblegum and no more pungent than, say, pineapple or Lemon Pledge. TLDR: I bought a bag of Durian sweets for my colleagues, thinking they tasted like fruit and instead they all got cross that I'd given them turdballs.
