durian

unnoticeable. Frozen durian is very stinky. The flavor of durian is heavenly... like the best custard you’ve ever had in your life. I saw the David Attonborough show on Orangutans where he marvelled that the Orangs would...

asked about if I had to buy the whole fruit or if they would cut it in half for me. "We don’t cut durian in the store!" I understand it is against the law in Singapore to eat durian in certain circumstances, like on buses....

My father-in-law laughed at the thought of eating a durian that had been frozen and sent across the Pacific. Being from Malaysia, he blew it off and didn’t even think twice about eating one here. To him, it would be...

To each their own, I suppose. I’ve had the privilege of having fresh ripe durian while in Asia and texture is that of custard with a very pleasant creamy taste. It’s sweet (sometimes with a tinge of alcohol) and very...

Does anyone know if it’s possible to find durian fruit (preferably whole, but frozen would do) in Manhattan? If not, where online could I order a few? My google-fu has failed me. Other “exotic” fruit suggestions...

musky, grassy, oniony, and overwhelming. It’s like “some freaky-deaky intimate experience that I can’t get out of my head,” says raj1. It looks like a giant predator fruit from the planet Zorkon....

Honestly, I think Durian tastes like the smell of natural gas. I agree that if you want a taste, try it in a shake at a Vietnamese restaurant. I eat just about anything but Durian is about as appealing to me as is monkey meat.

use so much crushed ice so you can’t taste it so well. The good places will make a nice thick shake. I don’t mind drinking durian shake, but I don’t like eating durian, it’s just toooooo much!!! I...

Growing up in Davao CIty in the Philippines, durian was closely identified with the city. I still remember eating it. I remember eating it in the form of a candy, a jam, and ice cream. Imagine that durian candy bars were the size...

durian. Serve it on a plate seedless with a spoon or a fork, and don’t eat it with your fingers, for God’s sake. 5) If you tolerated it so far you can graduate to the ripe Penang durian. Cook something meaty mutton...

Pho Pasteur in Chinatown has them. Avoid ordering one “to go.” Once I ordered one to go and proceeded to go shopping in Downtown. I actually got booted out of one store. How Andrew Zimmern can eat tree worms but not...

Thanks for the response. Yeh, I’d read that they smell like s**t. I’ve also heard that if you eat one, your breath smells like that corpse also. I’d hate to have a durian milkshake and then have to stay in...

Durian was one of the few things I absolutely refused to eat as a child. When my parents bought it, I would walk out of the room as soon as dinner was over. It was mostly a rebellion thing. I tried it once away from my parents...

Cooking it? What recipe has cooked durian in it? If you do cook it I recommend the frozen stuff. Cheaper, at the perfect ripeness, not as much smell, and easier to use.
