Was it good?
Durian.
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?
It’s fucked. Never again.
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
Slugs.
It looks like those lungs they put on cigarette packs

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 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.
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
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 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?”
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.
So, the same flavor as my dog’s farts.
Cilantro toothpaste. I like the other flavours this company has but this one is awful.
Tastes like soap I am guessing
Toothpaste is just teeth soap if you think about it.
How long did you think about it?
I was high at that time, so 20 minutes?
I’m not one of the people that tastes cilantro like soap, but I still find it disgusting.
I love cilantro, and I’d never buy this. I’d try it out if morbid curiosity if I could.

That does sound really weird. They really have bacon flavoured everything in some sense and it’s always a weird flavour
Probably the garlic ice cream in garlic restaurant Balthasar in Tallinn.
8/10. Would eat again. Sadly it looks like the place closed down, probably during covid-19 :-(
I had garlic ice cream at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California. Everyone leaving the free sample line had the exact same expression on their face as they tried the first taste:
Slightly scrunched up have with an expression that said, “I was really expecting this to be horrible but it’s not bad. Not great, but not bad.”
Salty liquorice ice cream, probably.
It’s not a weird taste to me but I’d imagine the vast majority of non-Finnish people would absolutely hate it.
There is an ice cream company in the state of Montana, USA, that has liquorice ice cream. I don’t remember if it was salty but it had food coloring that made things interesting…
Wilcoxson’s! They have all sorts of interesting flavors, love their stuff!
That’s the one!
Does it taste like actual licorice or store brand licorice ?
I don’t know what the difference is. Liquorice and salty liquorice are similar but separate products.
I once met a Finnish and he gave me something like (salty?) liqorice candy. It was basically black jelly, shaped like small hockey puck. Pretty good.
Did it get stuck to your teeth when you tried biting it? May have been a Merkkari
It is possible. It’s been some time, though, so can’t be 100% sure.
Love that shit! But I’m finish-adjacent. Sweden.
I didn’t actually try an of these. Found them in a random store near the beach in Florida
Mmm, Barf soda sounds so tempting… :-D
What a convenient time to share this…
i’ve had the pickle flavored soda. it’s exactly like you expect and nothing more. sweet, fizzy pickle juice
We had a child’s party that featured the mustard, pickle, bacon, and maybe 20 others. Not the pimple or barf ones.
Some were as advertised. Some were good. Some were disgusting.
If you want to try a very divisive cocktail, you need to go no further than the classic Negroni. I absolutely love them, but they are not for everyone. Extremely bitter and astringent - you certainly don’t gulp this one down. To me, it’s the most “adult” of adult alcoholic beverages. You either love or or despise it.
Wanna try it?
Equal parts:
- Gin.
- Campari.
- Sweet Vermouth.
Negronis are my absolute favorite drink, but most people I know hate them. Absinthe is just as divisive.
I remember absinthe as delightful but I don’t remember it real well
I remember absinthe as delightful but I don’t remember it real well
Ah, I see you’re man of (drinking) culture as well
Nah, I’m just a girl who spent half a decade in college lol
10 bucks says it was actually 10 years and you just forgot half of it
I hate the negroni. Don’t understand it, it’s way too sweet, way too bitter, but mostly just sickeningly sweet. Like if it was dumped into a glass of soda water or lemon water it would probably be ok.
Absinthe I think is just divisive because licorice/anise flavor is polarizing. I like it in cocktails, like Sambucca too. I love licorice flavors in general though.
Old bay flavored beer. I mean, crabs with beer tastes good, so how bad could it be? Very.
It’s starting to seem a little like some of the people making beer have never tried one.
I saw a recipe on.Bon Appetit for an orange juice and coffee drink, my initial impression was “no way” but I modified it a little and really liked it.
Cold brew, fresh squeezed orange juice, and Topo Chico fizzy water, poured over ice.
I also like the salad that is fennel, oranges and olives and onions, and also the Mexican fruit salad that’s pineapple, mango, jicama, onion, with citrus juice dressing and cotija sharp crumbled cheese.
I think that’s it for combinations that sound awful to me but taste good to me.
I believe there’s a coffee and campari drink that’s similar
I like Campari in orange juice quite a lot, and love it in grapefruit based cocktails. Siesta with 2x the Campari is actually so good after the first sip to calibrate. In coffee though? Seems like it would amplify the unpleasant flavors in both.
Minus the coffee with OJ, the others sound good.
Broom flavored soda. Buddy of mine made homemade sodas and did fun experiments and one went wrong so he called it broom soda because that’s exactly how it tasted. He added to much sugar somewhere and it partial melted and had this weird texture that mimicked sand. It’s such a weird drink to describe.
4/10 fun to laugh about but not to try more than a swig.
Here in Finland some product developers have a weird obsession over adding the taste of salty liquorice to everything.
So naturally there are also sodas and other products which taste of salty liquorice. And a whole bunch of combinations to things like “cinnamon bun + salty liquorice” like wtf who would ever enjoy that

I used to work in a bar. Somebody ordered a Malibu (coconut liqueur) with tonic water. I tasted some out of curiosity. It was weird, but not in a good way.
I had that Kraft Mac and Cheese ice cream. It was very strange. It was also better tasting than it had any right to be.
That being said… I don’t want any more of it.
Marshmallow and chips. Dry they were okay, I could separate the flavours, but with gravy added the flavour of the marshmallows mixed in with the gravy and chips and the whole lot tasted horrible.
I’m sorry, what?
Oh like poutine but with marshmallows instead of cheese curds? With just fries and marshmallows I could possibly understand the idea, but that does sound horrible.
How can I delete someone else’s post?
And by chips he means French fries
Just recently: Dunkin Spiked Coffee
I love coffee, so I had high hopes for this being really good. It tasted like someone mixed sugar, red wine, and coffee. Horrible. Tangy. Oddly sweet. Just weird. I can’t imagine a boardroom of people at Dunkin tasted this crap and said “ship it!”
