I have. I thought the stink was over-rated unless there is another breed they have in Hawaii. It did have a cheese type smell you don’t expect from a fruit, but it tasted like an over-ripe banana (with a similar texture).
Yes, many times. Doesn’t taste like heaven, though—more like a sulphurous, onion-tinged cream cheese...
I can not get past the smell of Durian so, when in Chiang Mai, my wife is kind enough to eat it on the back porch. Most of my in laws over 30 can not tolerate any kind of cheese but the younger ones like pizza. Besides durian, I like most all foods and fruits except ant eggs (smell again). The deep fried frog skins are great, for instance. I pass on the “horse piss” eggs. Chiang Mai sausage is great but I won’t ask how it’s made. ;-)
“Curious if anyone has tasted a Durian fruit. Supposedly tastes like Heaven but smells like Hell.”
I like it if it’s not too over ripe. Very rich and creamy taste. Sort of smelly, though.
Yes, it is here in the local markets, usually next to the dragon fruit... :-)
I have had it. As I recall I was pleased by the taste but don’t exactly remember.
I just saw some yesterday at the Dennis nearby. I’ll try it again and give a more detailed report.
It -—IS-— one of the scariest-looking fruits I have ever seen!
