Texture of banana but with a huge seed. Tastes like a strange combination of rotten eggs, whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, diced garlic, onions, cheese, and… caramel?
There are lots of varieties of Durian that bring out all those flavors (and possibly more) to various degrees. Supposedly some of them can be good if you acclimate and enjoy funky fruit.
The small dehydrated piece a friend brought me from Vietnam recently had tasted like if you went to a pizza joint and mixed the little containers of garlic butter and bleu cheese sauce, then added some pineapple and gasoline and a hint of vanilla custard for good measure. It was extremely weird and mostly reminded me of garbage. And for the rest of the day, the smallest burp brought back its vile ghost.
I’ve only had it once and I don’t know what variety it was, but despite the smell it just tasted kinda like a honeydew. There was no bitterness or anything
This is the most fun I’ve had reading text so far today, it’s like I was transported to another time and place without leaving the comfort of my own couch.
Durian is amazing if you’ve had it when you were younger. So if you got a young one, train them to try out new foods, fruits, vegetables, then they won’t be picky eaters. I had durian when I was younger and love the shit out of it. Those who aren’t, are likely to be disgusted by it.
the smell of durian makes me ill. Durian ice cream doesn’t have the smell, but the flavor profile still makes me think of the smell lol I guess stupid brain sensory issues
I thought it was so good and bad at the same time. (But I feel the bad lasts longer!). I’ve had candy, wafers, and dried forms. The worst has always been that it makes me burp and it tastes like a restaurant dumpster smells.
It’s like in a movie when someone’s mind is fed ask the knowledge in the universe until they’re overwhelmed and turn to dust or explode, but for taste buds.
Durian.

It’s fucked. Never again.

the smell is fucking epic. I was sad that I smelled it before trying durian ice cream, I think it’s ruined it for me.
Why is it ruined for you? I’ve had durian before durian ice cream and they are both really good.

Durian is good. You can buy one easily in Vietnam, and cheap.
Now I’m visualizing a shadowy figure in a trenchcoat in Ho Chi Minh City, beckoning curious tourists from an alleyway…
“Psst… hey buddy… yeah you… want to buy some durian?”

So, the same flavor as my dog’s farts.
