Next in my series of posts about exotic fruits is unquestionably one of the most amazing fruits on earth! I have already told you about perishable Mangosteen, delicious Langsat, gorgeous Dragon Fruit. Now it's time for stinky Durian!
The King of all Fruits! You either love it or you hate it. There is no chance to be indifferent if it comes to it's taste. No one will deny that durian just stinks. You can smell durian stalls from a dozen meters! There is a serious reason why you can't enter a hotel, airport or any other public place with durian. I'm one of those who don't understand durian's phenomenon. Although I've tasted it a few times already and tried really hard to find that deep flavour people told me about- I just don't see (or I should say taste?) it! What is that flavour you ask? To me: sweetened overcooked onion.... I think it's the best description. My friends said: " Distasteful, but there is something appealing that I wonna eat more". Durian is extremely healthy anyway. East traditional medicine assigns to durian anti-cancer properties, that have been proven by modern scientific research. Worth trying, but I couldn't eat more than a little bite. Anyway, next time when I'm in Asia I'm gonna give it a play once more! :)
And you? Have you ever tasted Durian? Or maybe you are one of those people who find it tasty and are willing to tell me about it ? Would you dare to taste it ? Thanks for reading!
