    It's funny.. people who REALLY love Durian says it smells really nice, perfume like, whereas people who hate it says it stinks. I think it tastes like green onion. I heard that it could cure asthma :D

    everyone says durians smells, but i never thought it did until i went to a dessert shop in hong kong. they sold smelly durians and i thought it smelled like a waste management.. but overall durans are very tasty!

    I love durian, the more ripe it is the sweeter it tastes. The smell is very strong but I like the smell and its does not smell like sick or poo. I can only eat a few peices at a time as it fills you up. I heard durian is the king of fruit and its the most nutritious fruit on the planet.

    hate the smell...
    but after a recent 7month stint in shanghai i've changed my mind about smelly tofu, which i used to think smelt horrible.
    so who knows... maybe i'll change my mind about durian too.

    Durians are great in taste
    but I admit they do smell
    but after years of eating, the smell doesnt even get to me
