1. After seeing the movie, I'm too scared to try it

"The Picture of Durian Fruit" - MGM, 1945

2. well someone said it looks like

A Godzilla egg, except, not that big!

3. What does it taste like anyway? I'm honestly curious.

5. Never had it before but a friend of mine described it

as tasting a very sweet onion.

4. Never had the raw fruit

Might have to fix that later this year. But, I've had a jelly candy and a drink that used real fruit for flavor and they were good.

6. Looks like someone cut open a pufferfish.

Fifty bucks to the first one here to swallow it whole.

7. I've had it numerous times (description of flavour)...

You should have an option for I've tried it and I don't care for it. Cause that's my opinion. I don't think it's horrible. But I voted for "It was great" cause I think more people should try different things like this.

If you want a description of the flavour here is the most accurate thing I can think of:

The base flavour is that of sweet custard.
On top of this are mild hints of mango and or pear.
There is a strong layer of the flavour of a raw onion on top of this, including some of the spice!
Add a strong hint of garlic to this mix to complete the picture.

When ripe it has the strong smell of rotting fruit or meat. Trust me it tastes nothing like it smells, even if you don't like the taste.

And be careful if you are ever walking around where they are grown. Falling ripe Durians have been known to kill!

8. Never had one, but I've always been curious

Maybe "1) Try a durian." should go on my Summer Resolutions list...

9. I've had it. Not a big fan, but I would eat it.

I much prefer the Jack Fruit.
Which is also green and spiky but so much larger. You get hit by one of those while it is falling, you're likely to get hurt... hurt real bad.

It is also interesting in texture, it has a firmness to it, and it tastes sweet.

10. You learn something new every day.

I'm not sure if I would try it. Smells like rotting meat, and tastes a little like onion...

11. Can anyone send me five cases of them?

There is a very long list of local Republicans who need a durian gift...leave that sucker in their heating ducts.

[KamaAina]

12. They're banned in the Singapore subway

[olddots]

13. They smell like the Wendy's drive thru line

Who had the guts and or hunger to try some of the things we eat ?
