Durians ~

You guys eaten durians before? You like it? haha :110:

 

Never have. Had a server named Durian at work, they sell them at the store I go to, and that's the extent of my knowledge of them. I hear they smell like shit.

 

They stink to high heaven but they do taste ok. I actually like durian crisps (potato chips).

Yakumo

 

it's called dürüm where i come from, and i have eaten those sheer weekly.

 

The crips are nice indeed, the durian itself I just don't really care for it that much. It doesn't taste bad, just not good enough to go through the effort to eat it.

 

Coz in my country..They sells them here n there. Different grades. Few days back.. I was at a stall, these french guys were saying they thought blue cheese was 'powerful', they ate durians.. One was telling me the feeling or rather the smell was like a 'knockout punch' from Mohammed Ali. lol

 

Are they expensive at your countries? We have some for like 50cents (Singapore Dollars). While some premium could cost us 20bucks per kilogram.

 

u should go try it. hahaha..

 

What do they taste like.

Anthony Bordain LOVES them and describes it as tasting custardy
but Andrew Zimmern says it tastes like rotting onions.

(they're chefs/Travel Channel hosts)

 

Like what good ol' Anthony mentioned. Its the smell the strong smell. I dun think it stink. Nice smelling to me. Haha ..
