White Woman Tries Durian For The First Time in Cambodia (pictures)
Re: White Woman Tries Durian For The First Time in Cambodia (pictures)
To quote a friend of mine commenting on the antics of a FL in Martinis years ago, after she had taken a bite of a Chinese dumpling he was eating. "Don't worry, I'm sure she has had things in her mouth before that were a lot worse than that"

White? She doesn't look like an albino...

The oddest thing happened...
On a recent trip back to Malaya, KL, my girlfriend introduced some old friends of mine to Durian. I'd never been a fan*, but we sampled several varieties. One in particular- Musang King- was actually remarkably nice. So good in fact, that I now happily partake of the other varieties available here. (I've not seen Musang variety identified locally around Phnom Penh). It literally changed my palette.
*mild phrasing for turning my face inside out while gagging

I believe it. We stopped at some Durian vendors on Preah Shit, forgot other part of the name. Big road.. lolFreightdog wrote: ↑Thu Sep 20, 2018 8:39 pm The oddest thing happened...

They had Durian fruit ranging from $10 each, that were good, to the 2500 riel that tasted like rotten fruit. I gagged terrible from it!

Re: White Woman Tries Durian For The First Time in Cambodia (pictures)
The Musang variety was notably much more expensive, but then SWMBO pointed out that the stone was also much smaller, so more flesh, less stone, better taste. Still pricey for something that smells like it grew in a teenagers bedroom and died, but hey...
Re: White Woman Tries Durian For The First Time in Cambodia (pictures)
As some others have been suggesting, some can taste terrible and others can taste nice. If you have only eaten the bad ones, you will be in for a shock when you eat a nice one.

That's the reason they say: Durians smells like hell, but taste like heaven.
There are people who cannot imagine that there are other ways of life than their own life.

Stinking rich? Rare durian fruit go on sale for $1,000 each
Variety called ‘J-Queen’ goes on sale in Indonesia and comes from trees its creator claims fruit once every three years
Tue 29 Jan 2019 05.30 GMT
A rare durian fruit is causing a stir in Indonesia, where the pungent delicacy is selling for the equivalent of $1,000 each, or more than three times the average monthly wage.
The so-called “J-Queen” variety has gone sale at a shopping centre in Tasikmalaya, West Java – where several are on display in clear boxes atop red satin and adorned in fake flowers – with an accompanying price tag of 14m rupiah, or about £750.
The average monthly wage in Indonesia is about 3.94m rupiah, according to data from the manpower ministry.

What is that fruit? Looks like mango, does it really taste that bad? She looks like she is going to extremely puking.
