You win that bet, but have a durian to wash it down.

It was okay. Had a unique, almost spicy flavor, but it stank up the fridge and it left an awful aftertaste.

Has anyone besides me tried Durian?

I don't understand why people say it smells and tastes like rotting garbage, to me it tasted sweet but slightly metallic, and the texture was like pudding. I don't see myself eating it everyday, but I don't understand why people think it is horrible. What do you guys think?

Are there any other strange fruits that you have tried and loved?

Durian, it also helps that durian around my region are fucking sweet

Durian is good it's like a sweet cream. That sweet sweet cream. Also smell not bad if you're accustomed to it.

This literally tastes like wet, rotting trash, composed manly of overripe mangoes and rancid sauteed onions.

So why can't I stop eating this?

SHOULD I BUY A DURIAN?

I got it frozen, of course, because you can't get them fresh where I live.

Smell wasn't too bad to me. Strong, but not foul. You need a good pair of gloves to mess with it though. They're heavy, and that spiky skin bites right into your hands. Maybe I cut into mine before it got the chance to get really smelly, but I couldn't be sure unless I bought another one.

The fruit was sweet--surprisingly so--with a custard like texture. Thick and viscous. Literally like pudding. There was a strange goopy stringiness to it. Taste wise? Up front, Vanilla, with maybe the slightest hint of banana. The back end was sulfuric. Straight onion-y. And the aftertaste definitely lingers. You ever eat a Whopper, and four hours later you burp and taste the onion? Just like that. Basically if you took vanilla pudding and put grated onion on top. It sounds disgusting, but if you can get past the aftertaste, it's delicious.
Did I like it? Yeah.
Would I eat it again? That's the problem. I can only get whole durians here, and the motherfuckers have like three pounds of edible flesh in them. I can't polish one off by myself. If if could, then hell yeah, I'd eat it again.

Pic related. That's what mine looked like. I don't know which variety this is, but I know there's more than one kind.

i never had it, is it really so good? what does it taste like?

If by none hipster you mean apples and bananas, then you have shit tier tastes.
They're sold in America because they're easy to produce and natural to the Americas, not because they taste good.

So after years of half-assed searching, I finally found a durian, and while it's good straight are there any recipes it would go well in it?

I think it's a bit underripe if that helps at all.

Last one. I know I'm going to get some flak for this one, but I don't care. All rise for the honorable durian master race!
