Friends of ours had a SE asian-themed dinner party at their place over the weekend (they split time between the states and malaysia/cambodia/etc growing up) and cracked open a couple durains for dessert. Always amusing to watch the reactions of those who've never tried one or even seen one before. :p

Q: Fausto- You're making even less sense than usual. WTF is a durian?

A: It's a fruit. Looks like this. You eat the yellowish insides. Smells kinda bad, tastes pretty good.

Mmmm.. That's good stuff. D24 are like my favourites.

In Malaysia, we just eat durian by the roadside squatting.

Ahh.. Good ol' days!

I can't imagine how something that's supposed to smell so bad is supposed to taste good. :Q

What does it taste like?

Can you get it at a grocery market or do you have to go to an Asian Market?

Depends who you ask. Kinda like mild banana/vanilla/custard-ish flavor with a very pungent tang thrown in. You'd really have to just try it.

Probably only an Asian market would have it. They're pretty hard to find even here in Atlanta and they're not cheap.
