    I never tried durians, ironic since they are locally grown. The smell puts me off and once opened the flesh doesn't look all that appealing. My dad and older folks in general seem to like it.

    There are plenty of other fruits I'd rather eat before trying it.

    Ah, maybe that's what I was thinking of then. Knew something about it was poisonous. Just didn't expect it to be my favorite nut!

    I'm kind of surprised that other infamous aspect of the fruit doesn't get mentioned much here.

    What I'm saying is: it tastes good, but it really can make you go on a room clearing farting spree. Sure, that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but the smell is not strictly a before eating thing.

    Anyway back on topic. My dad just last week brought some durian back. He kept it in the fridge, which meant I didn't go near it for a few days. Remembering this thread, I thought about giving it a try, but the smell was effectively a repulsor field pushing me away.

    I think it's fair to say people link smell and taste pretty closely.
