Just had my first one.

Wow. Just wow. It tastes like a mango on flavor steroids mixed with cool crunchies.

Conclusion: Passion fruit > all other fruits.

No. Passion fruit is the spawn of the debil. Had Eve eaten this instead of an apple, she would have choked and died and there would be no human race.

Never tried a durian, but after looking them up, I've seen them at int'l stores. Will have to try one now, since the bar for fruit awesomeness has been raised.

I still have not tried durian. I want to. How do you eat it?

Step 1) Burn off your olfactory receptors. Be thorough in this step. Nothing can remain.

Step 2) Burn off your tastes buds. While not as essential as step one, you should still be focused on 100% removal.

Step 3) Really consider if you want to proceed or not.

Step 4) Consider again

Step 5) If you considered again, and you still want to, shoot yourself. Less painful.

Just planted another four fruit trees in the yard this weekend. No passion fruit (we could probably put one in a pot in the patio), but we're now up to 4 mangoes, 3 mulberry trees/bushes, 2 carambola (star fruit), 2 Japanese plum, 1 pink lemon, 1 clementine, and 1 avocado.

We've almost reached critical mass in terms of places to put stuff.

never heard of the durian.
I just saw some pics now.

Anyway I don't like pure passion fruit that much, too intense for me.
I agree that it's got a very peculiar and fruity exotic taste. The strong taste makes it ideal for caipirinha.

I have passiflora on the garden fence, very beautiful flowers.

Is passion fruit the one that's supposed to taste like vagina? I'm always leery of sexual foods, usually they are snotty and musky. (Snails, oysters)

You're all wrong. Papaya is the king of fruit, not that cat shit smelling nasty mace looking thing called durian.

I like to take a really soft ripe mango, slice up a nicely ripened banana and then throw some greek style thick yogurt in there and blend it all together.

OMG heaven...

But honestly my favorite fruit to eat fresh just by itself is Pomegranate
