What does it smell like?? I’ve never heard of durian ...
Some say rotten onions, others characterize it as rotten meat.
I got this on line:Some of the more common comparisons include overripe cheese, fermented onions, rotten fish, and unwashed socks. (The bad smell, of course, performs a very important function: It attracts jungle animals to the fruit to facilitate seed dispersal.)
Go to your local Southeast Asian market. They are quite popular although very stinky ... like a really horrible stinky cheese.
I’m not likely to buy a whole one. I wish they would offer samples.
The smell defies description. It is awful. Just plain awful.
