Strange thing is that as much as it smells of stinky feet and/or goat cheese gone bad, I got coaxed by thai friends into eating the the stuff during a vacation in Thailand. Guess what? It's actually quite good, the fruit itself has a nice taste, with delicate and subtle sweetness, nice texture and but a hint of the noxious odor as an aftertaste.

After that, eating durian-flavoured cookies (oreo-like) and durian-flavoured ice-cream became quite pleasurable.
