Have you ever eaten a durian? What does it taste like? (mander.xyz)

I haven't. I'm not even sure I've seen one. I've definitely read about them, but I'm not sure I understand what they smell like or what they taste like and how is it possible that people can comfortably eat something that they agree it smells horrible. We're not talking stinky like cheese or salami, but actually unpleasant if I understand correctly.

So please, do share your experience! Thanks

I was excited to try some the first time I encountered the fruit, until it was cut open and I smelled it and then didn't want to.

Is the smell similar to something in particular in your opinion?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 6 days ago

It smelled like it was rotten.
