I would like to try this new durian.  I do get some when I can from an international store here in Atlanta, GA. It is expensive her in the states, but it worth an occasion taste. Actually I was introduced to it at a Southern Fruit Fellowship meeting. It does really smell bad and the smell will fill the room!  The flavor is very hard to discribe, but it does not match the smell. I would encourage everyone to try it at least once. 

I wonder though if the flavor would suffer would out the smell.
