Durian ..........
Durian ..........
How long til you get used to the smell and/or taste?
Boss has just bought ice cream for everyone, 50% of the tubs were durian flavour........
The whole place now stinks!!
Five years on and I still don't get it!

Life is short, paddle harder!!
took 4 cracks at the stuff over 2 years,
Actually the smell doesn't bother me, there are some European cheeses that real stink like dog doo.
First time felt like I was eating an onion and mango purée, not pleasant and my tummy gurgled for 2 days
Second time, notice the texture was interesting and no gurgling, loved the whole durian ritual, gargle with salt water from the discarded husks etc.
3rd time Stunned I never noticed the sweet caramel taste, seriously just like the inside of a éclair!
4th time love it, has a creamy toffee, caramel, buttery taste, I can see why orang-utans and locals go mad for the stuff, many paying more for a few seed than some class A drugs.
Interesting my sprog loves it from day one.

I'm with beppi on this one. I've tried it a number of times and a number of varieties, but no go. The smell doesn't bother me at all. Oddly enough, I don't really care for Mangosteens either. Go figure.

It's an acquired taste. Perseverance does pay off..
