I ate some on a dare one time- they say the taste is completely different from the smell. Lying ****ing durian-peddlers. Chas You really DO have to get them at the 'exact' point of ripeness. The pods inside need to be the consistency of soft ice cream. THEN the taste is good. Not great, but good. And there is very little smell. It is only the outer shell that really has the intense smell, although the inner pods to retain some. But the taste, if eaten at the right time, is nothing like the smell. When we do buy them, we purchase them in the supermarket, already taken out of the outer shell, in shrinkwrap so we can feel the texture. Much less smell that way, but they are still easy to locate in the market. It's illegal to bring them onto buses or trains in Singapore, most cities in Malaysia and Thailand, and almost every hotel has big signs telling guests not to bring them into the hotels. $500 fine for doing so in S'pore! (That may have been reduced recently to $300.) Personally, I can take it or leave it. I prefer mangosteens and Emperor Lychee over all other fruit. Mangos follow, then rambutan and lamyai (I can't remember the English name...) At durian markets, you will see many people, all with their own 'secrete method' of selecting a durian at its peek. Also remember that durian from Malaysia taste differently from during from Indonesia or Thailand, and vice versa. However, they ALL stink to high heavens! Say Hey Stevie: You are so full of ****! There is no law in Thailand stating that one cannot bring durian on a bus/train/aircraft. You really have these knifie boys bulls***t. 5555 Yee-Hsw !! |
