Who Likes Durian

[Clernix]

Just a quick poll. Durian Love it , hate it, can't live with out it? I remember watching an Anthony Bourdain and he said you have to try it three or 4 times. I did and I am hooked. Can't wait till I leave in April to have some.

And what does Poland have to do with the disgusting fruit anyway?

Durian? Oh HELL no!

First time I tried it I described the taste was as if you squeezed lemon on some 3 day old road kill, last time (a few days ago) it tased like spoiled onion. Lemony road kill may have led to a third try but spoiled onion, no thanks.

I am so hooked on it. I ate it every day for two weeks when I was in Pattaya for two weeks in October. Going to Philippians in April. I'll eat as much of it as I can get my hands on!

For me it tasted line onions and feet the first 4 times. Then all of sudden I love it.

Definitely an acquired taste. Here in Honduras the reaction is more or less summed up here (in Spanish and no subtitles but they really aren't necessary...)

Catrachos vs Durian

My own opinion is identical to that of OMMOHY:

Durian? Oh HELL no!

Cool. Less for me!

I love durian but I’ve never eaten it straight. Maybe its all in the preparation. I’ve always had it in various deserts at dimsum places. Also durian ice cream and some other stuff in Jakarta.

I prefer Jackfuit over durian any time. Hate the mussy texture of durian.
But the latex of the Jackfruit makes it quite messy, sticking your fingers and lips.
