Dutch were probably the first to embrace the rancid smell, and
ventured forth to eat the stinking stuff.

Durian yes. Hot and sun warmed. I think with a Tiger beer? Some local
to the place beer at least.

Durian is a love it or hate it thing. Smells bad, tastes divine!

Popeye found that same smell at the donkey shows in mexico, and
brought an old broad back to new york! Smells like a rotting
corpse, but perfect in a jewish neighborhood.

I couldn't bring myself to eat Durian. I hear it tastes quite sweet but
I couldn't get past the stench. My father brought home a small crock of
limburger cheese once. I couldn't bring myself to taste it.

The smell has never bothered me. I love Durian, to me it's neither
sweet nor sour. I've found the quality can vary greatly though, and a
really good one is really something special.

I bought some to try, can't say I liked it.
