Good point. I can’t get past the smell of Durian, but like
strong cheeses like Gorgonzola and Limburger; neither of those are real popular
in Asia. ~ Stephen From:

Behalf Of mIEKAL aND The best thing about durian, in my humble opinion, is how
quickly it spells out the cultural differences between the American taste buds
& Asian cultures. I've had a number of Asian friends over the years
who do think durian is the king of fruits. It would be interesting to
discover what flavors from North America make them retch. ~mIEKAL On Sep 17, 2009, at 7:52 AM, Ginda Fisher wrote:

sour, bitter, or astringent foods I don't generally like ill-scented ones. -- Ginda Hector Black wrote: We saw a durian at an asian market in either Seattle or
Vancouver. I'd heard it described as the "Queen of tropical
fruits" and bought one, packaged nicely in a net bag. We took it up
to our hotel room, everyone gathered around with great expectation as my
son-in-law took a knife to open it. There were these balls of custardy
creamy white stuff inside the firmer flesh. But the odor permeated the
whole room in no time. Smelled like sh*t, The only one who could
get it past the nose was my son-in-law who can't smell at all. We didn't
know what to do with it - had to get it out of the room as the odor was
sickening. Wrapped it in plastic and paper several times and dropped it
off . Now I understand why some hotels in the orient have signs reading
"No durians allowed". hector black middle tn
