Durian is fucking NASTY… I made the mistake of buying durian-flavored wafers from an Asian market once and I had to ventilate my apartment. I thought for sure they were rancid, but no, that’s just the way durian fruit is.
I remember an episode of Bizarre Foods where Andrew Zimmern nearly chundered after trying a bite of it. This is the guy who eats “delicacies” like rotten eggs and pickled testicles without so much as a wince.
@dieAntagonista – Dead stuff smells, deers, cows… cats… etc. I have been fortunate that the dead people I’ve seen were fresh so they only smelled like poop.
I was told it was a “white” thing to dislike durian. Only when taking the ferry to Indonesia from Singapore, customs had a sign that said “No Durian”. When an entire country is disallowing a particular fruit from entering… yeah.
As i was looking through those pictures, memories came flooding back (Granted, it wasnt that long ago, a few months i think that i went there), and i just thought “Those places fucking STUNK”…. Then i read the text, and i was like, ‘O’lol, trudat”.
So there’s my story.
Fucking STINKS.

You either love it or hate it. I love durian and I think it smells great.
These pictures are amazing. And how come you know what rotting corpse smells like?
Some lead a different life….
and
I think i would try the grasshoppers…
Welcome to Beijing, home of putting anything on a stick. Next up, plasma screen on a stick.
I can’t wait to try the Stick-On-A-Stick 😀
Melon-on-a-stick seems like it’d be pretty convenient to eat if it went all the way through.
I’ve always wanted to try all the crazy foods with insects.
