It tastes fine to me! But then again, maybe it's because I'm asian. (ABV) I've been eating a Durian ever since I was 9 years old...

If they don't smell horrible, you may be one of the lucky few who will enjoy a durian. (Some people can't smell or taste a certain durian compound, I think.)

The Durian was the only fresh produce in the Chinese store here in Austin, TX that none in our party of 3 recognized. They had maybe 30 for sale that were the spitting image of yours. My curiosity is sated. @Tim

My curiosity is sated.

Also known as custard apples, they have a strong, almost sickly sweet odor that repulses some people but attracts others. And no, this isn’t going to be a repeat of the infamous durian incident. Paw-paws are a well-established, reputable fruit. [...] [...] Paw-paw (Asimina triloba) trees produce large, mis-shapen fruits that have a generally turd-like appearance.

Durians are the large, spiky, smelly fruits that look like deformned pineapples to the untrained eye. They are a tropical delicacy and can be found where there are other bizarre tropical fruits.

Michael continues his ongoing story of his recent week in Spain. Cory tells us all about Buddhist filmmaker Takashi Miike. Patience is “pissed off that two of [her] kids live with the threat of violence every school day”. Anoop Ranganath ate an apple and it really hurt. Mike relates the story of a friend who is the literal poster child for UVa’s financial aid program who just left school in his fourth year because he can’t afford tuition. Bill Emory provides the history of one particular piece of land in the Woolen Mills, tracing it back to 1870. Scott Johnny had one of those small-town moments that are obvious to locals, shocking to newbies. Sally’s neighbor on Stribling has feral pit bull puppies that wander around the street foraging for food, and animal control won’t do anything. Maiaoming names five blogs she’d create if only she had the time. Jennifer, inspired by Anne Metz’ recent Starlight Express trip, took the shuttle herself, and judges it so-so. Ryan is a little freaked out by Mark Warner’s visage. Mayor David Brown is digging the changes at Reid’s. (Side note: I once saw a candidate for office take a swipe at Reid’s; the audience turned on him at that very moment.) Tim McCormack consumed the most disgusting-smelling fruit in the world, the durian, and lived to blog about it in excruciating detail. Jordan Conley, new to town, doesn’t know what to make of the crazy guy’s signs on Park Street. And, finally Bryan McKenzie figures that neither Vance High nor Joan Schatzman come off well in their spat. [...] [...] Bob Gibson memorializes his daughter Stella’s dearly departed chicken, Funky.
