Have you ever eaten a durian? What does it taste like?
Have you ever eaten a durian? What does it taste like?
I haven't. I'm not even sure I've seen one. I've definitely read about them, but I'm not sure I understand what they smell like or what they taste like and how is it possible that people can comfortably eat something that they agree it smells horrible. We're not talking stinky like cheese or salami, but actually unpleasant if I understand correctly.
So please, do share your experience! Thanks

It depends. The smells and flavors run quite a gamut.
Smells: gasoline, body odor, hot trash can, tire fire, rotting onions, raccoon decomposing under the house. In the best cases, a sweet rancid musk, like a field of wild fruit at the end of the season, with all the fruit rotting on the ground.
Tastes: Egg custard, vanilla pudding, brie cheese with dates, kerosine-soaked bread, unwashed armpits after a day of hard work in the hot sun.
How do you know what kerosene-soaked bread tastes like?
I noticed you did not question tasting 'unwashed armpits after a heavy day of work.'
I guess it IS a pretty well known taste.
I feel happy that I am represented.
Thank you!I mean, I've licked my own armpit before, but I don't even keep my bread and my kerosene in the same cupboard.
