Description
in SouthEast Asia, you'll see signs that says "NO DURIAN ALLOWED" in Public and Private offices/places, local transportation, Airports, either in writing or in picture. I guessed because of its distinctive smell (very strong and powerful). The fruit flesh is yellowish in color, and has a soft, cottony feel/texture look and taste (maybe, never try...). The fruit is a delicacies that they even produce/make ice-cream, candies, and chips out of it.The chips durian is fine to me

It's kinda strange really. My whole family loves durians, I absolutely detest them, yet I love this piece of work!

i guessed, it a matter of getting and growing up eating (and smelling ) it, but since i don't/didn't, i detest eating (or even trying) to eat it

I've grown up around them...but bleh! are they yuck or just yuck!?!?!

people here in SG (and some part of SEAsia where they sell these fruit) enjoys and love eating them, but in my country where i was born ang grew-up (Phils.) we don't have this and so for me (and the rest of us whose not familiar with the fruit and it's smell) can't stand it and find the taste/texture so yucky

It is quite a shock to the senses...
