Oh, yes, I have had durian. Fresh and dried. Maybe at gunpoint I'd try one again, but it's really not my cup of tea. Re: Unusual Fruits

My boyfriend loves them, on the two or three occasions I have had the opportunity to buy one. I don't get put off by smells because I know that some things (cabbage, for example) is kind of stinky. But I am not really in love with durian's flavor. My exotic fruits would include starfruit. I just had one for the first time but I am not sure if it was ripe. It was kind of crunchy, not soft. It tasted like a combo of a cuke and kiwi; just slightly sweet... Re: Unusual Fruits

Date: March 15, 2010 10:56PM I've had most of the fruit on that video. The fruit he called longans are really langsat. I love the langsat.
When I was eating cooked food, the durian smelled very putrid to me. But after going raw, my perception of the smell changed quite a bit, and now it smell like a sweet tropical fruit, and of course the taste is heavenly. Yumm. Durian is my favorite tropical fruit, but my second favorite is the mangosteen. The durian is known as the king of the fruits in Thailand, and the queen of fruits is the mangosteen.

Durian = not so much. Not now, not ever. In Thailand they also refer to it as "the stinky fruit" and it is not allowed in many public places and never, ever at the airport! Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
