King of fruits, my foot.

It smells like foot and tastes like it too. With a mild onion aftertaste. I regret everything. What has my life become?

Actually the worst smelling fruit in the world.
Durian pizza however is edible. That's the best I can say. I think they use it for the sauce instead of tomato. I dunno, China is weird.

If it's any consolation charon liked it. Which is great because the whole thing won't go to waste now. I though have had quite enough. I gave it the old college try but it's not my cup of tea. Strangely I am craving a second bite just to be sure.

There are types of durian? It looks like the one in that video... Brown with medium-large spikes. It was a whole durian, not frozen or prepackaged. Charon had to carve it.

Yeah, there are
https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UWKuuVVhLRY/TkoUWvnpc-I/AAAAAAAABDM/YytwMMqdyes/s320/thai-varieties.png

Regardless of jokes, I have to admit that finding a good durian can be hit or miss. If it's too ripe, the alcohol content ruins the taste. Not ripe enough and it's bland and taste like eating nothing. And the onion aftertaste can be too strong. It's more like 70/30 good:bad ration for me so far though.

Durian is awesome. So sweet and creamy. Cut it up and let it air out and then chill it in the fridge. Then you can eat it without the overpowering smell.

I disagree! Durian as a flavoring is... pretty bad. It doesn't lend itself very well for that purpose, that or the experience of eating it cannot be replicated without the flesh itself maybe. I've had a couple of different durian flavored things and they were bad, I could not finish them. I liked the fruit itself however.

NioraptH posted...
D24 or D101 or Musang King are the best types of durian... These are Malaysia/Singapore specific however. The stuff exported to the west is usually from Thailand.


Yeah, it was from Thailand. I mean I would try the different kinds if I was able to, but even among the dozens of apple cultivars I've sampled I can't tell that much difference in the large majority of them. I was just glad to be able to actually sample this one; ever since I moved to a large metro area I've found a passion in sampling exotic fruits. This was kinda the last great holy grail, or at least the most major one we'd yet to get a try of.

not only that but it has its own unique placement at airports.
for some it's illegal to transport durian.

The smell did put me off at first, it was very pungent and surprising, not the mild whiff of foulness from wafers or durian paste, but like, very strong. The smell of it has lessened in its offensiveness to me, though I still wouldn't describe it as pleasant. Taste wise, I feel it tastes like a combination of mild onions, bananas and pineapples, maybe with like, cream cheese.

Quite obviously I am going to be downing 90% of it or better so yeah, good thing I didn't waste money! It was a lot more pricey than I expected, given what I researched online I was expecting to pay no more than $16 but ended up paying over $20 for it ($2.99 /lb). I went with the largest one they had because it looked like it would be the best one. I'm having some of it now! It's not exactly something I feel like I could down in one sitting, but maybe... I dunno. I thought about it while I was at work and got it out time I was home.

Oh I will add this to the fruit's defense and reputation; it's very easy to peel despite it's scary appearance. You'll likely take longer peeling an apple than getting the durian loose from it's spiky cage. Deceptive, because it's cousin the jackfruit is without a doubt the most grueling fruit I've ever seen to work with. We both liked that one a lot though, taste wise.

How many of those have you had or want to try?

I forget which one, but they said one of them tastes like a creamy banana. I'd like to try that one at least.

They had pepino where I got the durian from. If we head back soon and they are still carrying it, I'll be sure to pick some up. Believe it or not, I bought a bag of mamoncillos (as advertised there "guinep", commonly known as the spanish lime apparently) with the durian. I'm always down to try anything I happen to come across though, provided I can safely afford it and feel it is properly ripe.

Poor baby was devastated to have to pass on the soursop the local Asian farmer's market has available. Crap was like 3.99/pound and wasn't even ripe. We'll have it eventually.
