Have you ever eaten a durian?

It's this thing.



When I was growing up, my Grandma and Mom would buy it, cut it open, and eat it with me. No one else in my family would eat it because they say it stinks. In fact, my uncle would not let us eat one in his house blaugh

Last night, on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno, one of Jay's guests had traveled around the world and had eaten lots of local foods and he said he could not eat the durian because it smells like feet and has the texture of rotting onions.

I don't think it tastes bad at all. I like it fresh (it's creamy) or frozen. The smell doesn't bother me, maybe I'm used to it. Once, however, my Mom brought home some durian ice cream and I tried to make a float with it. I made some, put it into a cup with a lid, and stored it in the refrigerator. Two hours later, I came back and opened it up. It smelled so bad xd It took us two weeks to get rid of the smell from the cup. I think it stank (or stunk?) because the cup was not properly ventilated.

Have you ever eaten a durian?

Omg, Durians are the best things ever. But of course my sister and my dad both think it stinks and its wierd. Buuuttt, I love it. <3

durian info:

Quote:

The durian (IPA: [duɾiɑn]) is the fruit of trees of the genus Durio belonging to the Malvaceae, a large family which includes hibiscus, okra and cotton. Widely known and revered in Southeast Asia as the "King of Fruits",[1] the fruit is distinctive for its large size, unique odour, and a formidable thorn-covered husk. Its name comes from the Malay word duri (thorn) together with Malay suffix that is -an (for building a noun in Malay), meaning "thorny fruit".[2][3]

There are 30 recognised Durio species, all native to Southeast Asia and at least nine of which produce edible fruit.[4] Durio zibethinus is the only species available in the international market; other species are sold in their local region.

The fruit can grow up to 30 centimetres (12 in) long and 15 centimetres (6 in) in diameter,[5][6] and typically weighs one to three kilograms (2 to 7 lbs).[5] Its shape ranges from oblong to round, the colour of its husk green to brown and its flesh pale-yellow to red, depending on species.[5] The hard outer husk is covered with sharp, prickly thorns, while the edible custard-like flesh within emits the strong, distinctive odour, which is regarded as either fragrant or overpowering and offensive. The taste of the flesh has been described as nutty and sweet.
