Fruits that smell (and taste) like garbage

Oh my!

I do not mind eating fruits. But some fruits (*cough* *cough* - The official Malaysian fruit, the Durian.) literally smell and taste like garbage....Not any garbage ....garbage that's been lying around for weeks.

Worth trying though, because it's said that, it's a thing that some people actually like. Some LOVE it, some HATE it, it's said.



It is UNBELIEVABLE how smelly they are! The odour actually spreads like some kind of bacteria! Leave a piece (or the seed with a small piece of the fruit) open, the odour will be detected in the entire house!

I have, absolutely, no intention of being offensive to any Malaysian reading this blog; as a matter of fact I've enjoyed your hairy leaches (rambotans?? - sounds like some ig mighty animal!), and mango-thingies (those were the best; the ones that you break with your hands!).



No Durians signs...



But Durians are horrible. I cannot believe how people can eat that kind of stuff.
I was, however, intending on giving it another chance, since it's said that it's a thing that you eventually "learn liking", however my sister loved it - so she ate it all up.

It is said that the smell of the durian can also be detected out of the eater's burps and farts.

I can confirm that the latter is true.

it can get quite tasty after a few tries, so do not just label it as a smelly fruit that no-one-in-the-right-mind-ought-to-eat!hahah

haha, had some Malaysians come over; over the winter hols - they had it thoroghly packed to avoid the smell coming out.

Yeah I was going to give it a try but (luckily) it was finished after a few days - and I wanted to recharge my guts before trying them again.

=D

Yeah! Daring Malaysians - Other passengers prolly thinking - what is STINKING in this entire plane? haha no but the packages were pretty tight- but the small pieces left on the seeds would spread the smell into the entire house.

Loved Preet's theories on the durians - haha
