Have you tasted a durian fruit?

It's that hard coated fruit with prickly thorns and unique smell. More info here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durian). I'm from the Philippines particularly in Davao City where most of the durian fruits in the country come from. Durian candies and bars, durian fruit shakes and durian flavored ice cream are also sold here. I was just wondering what was your reaction upon tasting the fruit? Thanks

Have you tasted a durian fruit?
it's a love-or-hate type of fruit. personally i can stand a small amount of it, but i wouldn't choose to order it.



it's popular desset in a pancake with cream where i'm from (for those who like it)



it's creamy, the texture is thick and mushy, it doesn't taste as bad as it smells. however, ur whole mouth dries up and ur breath smells really bad afterwards.
Reply:TRUE STORY ABOUT DURIAN FRUIT

My friend Val once told me a story involving the very odiferous durian fruit - known in Asia as "the King of Fruit" but durian fruit is banned in public places such as subways, malls and hotels.



She and her family were visiting Malaysia a few years ago but had a stop over in Singapore. Her parents, who had moved to Canada about 30 years earlier, were chomping at the bit for durian. This was NOT permitted in the hotel but they went out and got one anyway from a local market.



"They brought it back and it was like they were little kids again. Giggling and all a-twitter about the durian. They opened it up in the hotel room and started to eat. I think only a few minutes had passed and we got a phone call."



The hotel staff demanded to know if they had durian in the room. Her mother lied. The official replied: "Madam, we have had reports of a durian smell in your vicinity, please tell us if you have durian." Mom did not relent.



Her parents opened all the windows and were furiously fanning the room with the hotel magazine when they heard a knock on the door. A man dressed like an astronaut was standing on the other side.
Reply:Well, it taste like cream. Erm, the flavour is weird. And it's a really unique smell, so pungeant i can smell it from the next room. I don't really like the smell. but the taste is good. it's texture is like cream cheese. I like it's appearance though. I think I'm gonna spike up my hair like it's torns. XD

Reply:I really wish I could taste this fruit! I've heard so many different reactions from people it's gotten me very curious. My parents say when I was much younger that they brought one home and tried it, but I absolutely cannot remember.
