Had this in Malaysia. I had to eat it outside for obvious reasons. So good. You either love it or hate it.

        The letter J wasn’t even invented until the year 1524 AD. Therefore, logically speaking, I do not believe in Jesus. Now if they speak and write original Hebrew, maybe I might pay more attention, but they done chopped the language up so much that I don’t even have any clue what the original names of January, June and July were.

        Anyways, I talk shit sometimes, but no, I didn’t actually circumcise myself. Who invented that idea anyways?

    I actually don’t mind the way durian tastes, but I find the smell to be off-putting enough that the whole experience is ruined for me

    Glad you like it, i never had one because the price is not peasant friendly 😅

    Have you tried the other variant?

        Ohh man, you should try it if you have the chance again, while musang king is the most pungent and sweetest(and the most expensive before being dethroned by black thorn), it doesn’t have other flavour like bitterness and alcoholic taste which imo really add to the taste.

    I do like durians. I’ve also never had issues with the smell. After learning how many people don’t like the smell, I do notice that the smell does linger for quite some time

    I hoped durian would be one of those tastes better than it smells foods, but unfortunately to me it tastes exactly like it smells.

      To me the taste is fine, but you can’t eat it without also smelling it so you’re eating tasty fruit while smelling rotting corpse. When I smell a rotting corpse I don’t want to eat fruit, or anything really.

        For many (most ?) people who learn to like durian, a switch happens inside the brain, and the smell becomes appetizing. The first few times I encountered durian, I thought the smell was vile - but I’ve become a durian lover eventually, and they smell delicious to me now.

        Funny enough I also like stinky cheeses, but still find them stinky (even though I like the taste) - for some reason it’s different with fruit.

          I love stinky cheese and I love the smell. I also love every fruit I’ve ever tasted, but the smell of durian never changed for me.
