    how many of you guys like eating durian?? its that fruit that has a horrible smell to it that makes many people dislike it. i personally like it at times because i dont mind the smell and when it is actually sweet then its really good. but how about you guys??

    still eating but not too much...loved it when I was a kid..my dad has this weird hobby...he likes to sniff on durians...when it's durian season he would go to the market on his bike and buy lots of durians. He would sniff and shake it to determine the quality.. I must admit he's got skill in those because 90% of his chosen ones are good..

    I've tried it quite a few times. I don't mind the smell, but I don't like the taste. It's not the worst tasting thing ever... But I don't like it.

    I think that it tastes like onions o.o raw onions. Which is just wrong, no fruit should taste like onions...

    i dont mind the smell, its a bit over powering but no where near disgusting like people seem to describe it

    as for the taste, i find it too rich and creamy to eat
