Many years ago, my wife bought a small one in Chinatown in London ---- 25 pound!!!
Needless to say, when she brought it home, her and her daughter ate it in the garden. It was February!!!!

I don't see what all the fuss is about with the "King of fruit", it stinks, the texture is foul and it doesn't taste all that great either.Dannie Boy wrote:Whilst I would agree that the smell is pretty bad, I don't think the taste is so bad, I have tasted far worse and wouldn't go as far as spitting it out.

Love the stuff. I freeze it then run it through a sorbet maker, sprinkle with almond chips. Divine!aragon wrote:Durian is a foul tasting mess, I hesitate to call it a fruit as it is so bad.

Ice cream on bread seems to be universal all over SE Asia and with that many people eating it, I guess there must be something to it, but a bit too sweet for me I'm afraid.
