Tried some that a friend brought over to a different friend’s apartment. Friend freaked out because his roommate gets upset about strong smells. 7/10, would eat that oddly unpleasant fruit again to ruin another friend’s apartment.
I was blown away by the choice, underwhelmed by the experience, amused by the reaction. While I said I’d do it again, the comedy of the novelty will be absent.
I can definitely detect the smell. I had to stop breathing to be able to put it in my mouth. But I liked the taste a lot - it reminded me of a high quality very creamy camembert, quite delicious. I then treated it like cheese - it goes well with red wine.
Has anyone else bought a durian fruit even after being warned about it? Talk about acquired tastes…
Guess you just lack the necessary enduriance

Bringing something that you know some ppl hate the smell of to their homes is crazy. I hope it didn’t stink too badly.

How dare you talk bad about the king
Smells awful sure, but the taste is great. Like a slightly mustardy jackfruit.
Durians are delicious. I’ve read somewhere it depends on whether you can detect the compounds that smell bad.
