I just had Durian for the first time and it was awful. Durian is also called stinkfruit. The fruit has sharp spikes all over it so the people harvesting it have to wear protective gloves when they pull it off the tree. It has a gross, slimy texture and the smell of rotten fruit and garlic. The taste was the worst part though. It tasted a lot like it smelled but also like Tutti Frutti Ice-cream that has gone moldy with onions on top. It is by far the worst fruit I have ever tasted. People here seem to like it though, Dairy Queen even has a new blizzard here: Durian ice cream with black sticky rice and coconut cream. It was DISGUSTING.
If you ever get the chance to try a durian you totally should. Just keep a trash can handy.

“Tutti Frutti Ice-cream that has gone moldy with onions on top!” This was hilarious! How anyone could possibly take a second bite of this fruit amazes me – and yet it is so popular in certain culture groups! Thanks for the review (and bravery of actually tasting it)!
