Durian fruit?

I'm partial to quince. Thanks though........

 

I love it! Well yes it's quite a pungent smell in a lift or hot enclosed room. The best for me is the "red" meat which is so sweet it tastes a little bitter, kind of like pure chocolate. I'm surprised they ship it there, these fruits are best when ripe & dropped from the tree naturally so they must be consumed ASAP but many owners pluck them these days.

Choosing a good durian is quite a skill & so is opening it don't think I'll ever master it.

 

meat?

 

Cheremoya Rules.

 

Definitely refrigerated.

I LOVE durian. It's an acquired taste, but once you're hooked, it's as addictive as meth.

 

My parents love durian. When they cut it up, the kitchen smells like an active volcano.

It's apparently really good for you, though.

 

Anyone else think it sorta looks like a fetus?? or am I just that sick?

Durian is a local fruit here. foreigners are pretty crazy about them once they taste it. me OTOH, i hate it

 

We'd see it at the supermarket in Hawaii, but I was warned against it by friends...

 

no harm trying. but the ones u get in the stores are lousy. the ones from the ochard is the best

 

The Vietnamese lady of our house, Mai, got me to try this for the first time about 15 years ago. She and I both like it, but both of her kids and most of her sisters just cannot stand it. We both thought it was hilarious that the weird food guy Zimmern on Travel Channel cannot even stand to swallow it, and this is the guy who eats all kind of worms, bugs, brain parts, bats, etc.!!!

BTW, I saw on food channel the claim that all American Durian fruits have been frozen, partly for shipment but also to kill the bacteria.

 

I'm curious, which part of that spiky mess do you eat?

 

You eat the yellow inside - it is kind of a creamy custard-like consistency. This is a very expensive luxury food because you get so little edible fruit by weight, in comparison to the heavy and inedible outer hull.

 

Mark,

In China, Durian is a natural Viagra,,, it is consumed on the spring night of, "Lantern Festival." And ensures “Fruitful” Coupling. (pun intended) The women will feed this to their man. Ha ha ha,,, did any of you experience a more lasting (aaahhhhmmmm),,,,,,,,,,,,,, erection that evening?

To lighten the smell, it is best to freeze the fruit, then crack it open. It has a creamy garlic taste, high in caffeine, and vitamin C.

 

I had Durian during a trip to Penang Malaysia. The locals love it however upon a small sample I soon realized that this "fruit" tastes exactly like raw onions. If that is not bad enough, the outright smell of Durian from 20 feet away is awful enough to make you want to vomit instantly. It must be an acquired taste because the only smell I can compare this fruit to is raw sewage. Dont care if it is triple strength Cialis, there is no way I could ever eat it again.

 

There are tons of Durians in the Philippines. I have tried it but I didn't like it much.

 

if you can eat p%$$y, you can eat durian !!

 

LMAO!!
