Has anyone eaten this or prepared it? I'm curious about foods that I
consider odd.

I've eaten it in Malaysia and really recommend it; it's absolutely
delicious, creamy and sweet. It was prepared for us, just the flesh
scooped out of the raw fruit.

Delicious? Everybody says it stinks like rotten fish heads.

Never tried a durian but does the flesh smell when you eat one in a
restaurant or are nose plugs provided?

The whole fruit does stink like something died; so bad hotels and
planes won't allow customers to bring durian. But the taste of the flesh
is heaven.

I've eaten some here in the US, raw. It's a good idea to eat it outside, and you may need to hold your nose shut when you eat it to avoid the smell. It tastes OK for a fruit, though.

Like eating custard in an outhouse.

You can get Thai durian in the US, but it's not picked fully ripe. In
Malaysia they wait till it thumps on the ground. Sometimes its cousin
jackfruit is a little stinky -- jackfruit reminds me of Juicyfruit gum.

I wonder sometimes what on earth made people taste something that smells
so bad. By all accounts it is delicious but it sounds like a case of,
"Hey, Kam, I dare you to take a bite out of this!"

I have tried eating durian and it's really tasty. It's a fruit most common on Southeast Asian countries. They consider it the king of fruits if I'm not mistaken. Most people didn't like this fruit because of it's strong odor but I find it okay. For me it smells good.

Well, whoever first looked at a live lobster or prawn or raw egg and
thought "mmmmmm, I bet that tastes good ".

Ha-ha. Raw chitlins smell really bad, but people cooked it and ate it,
including my family. A friend asked me to smell something, but my
sinuses were so bad, I could not smell a thing. She said I was perfect
to do brain surgery, because they smell so rotten (she was a surgeon).

About 35 people from the newsgroup houston.eats, ate at a Vietnamese
restaurant, and a waiter passed around a tray of small Durian cubes on
toothpicks, so everyone could try it. Yes, it smelled bad, but it tasted
pretty good, like very sweet peaches.

I never knew that. What did they nibble while watching TV?

Yeah, I'm gonna miss scintillating replies like this one.

On the Flintstones, there were always snacks.

I'm guessing our "hairy ancestors" learned about lobster, prawn and raw
egg from watching birds and mammals that knew how to fish and forage.
They saw them eating oysters, crayfish, prawns... and probably raw bird
eggs. It makes sense.

Of course I'm sure there were a lot of "Oh, those berries look tasty!"
moments going on. Oh no, don't eat those!

My theory is that chopsticks were invented from watching birds eat.
Do you think they learned to copulate from watching the rabbits? LOL
