So, I've heard a lot about dorian fruit, but I've never tried it before. The local asian market has them whole, but they are frozen. If I bought it, how should I defrost it? Should I just leave it out for a day? When it does thaw, how are you supposed to eat the thing?
Should I buy a frozen dorian fruit?

Fridge. Beware of the smell when you cut it open. Evacuate all little kids, far far away from the kitchen. Give it a day to thaw.
If someone tries to rob you, grab it and whack em with it.

it's got a hard, prickly shell that is inedible.
Inside, it's kinda like a walnut in that there are hard things that you aren't supposed to eat.
The fruit is the round nuggets inside between the stuff you aren't supposed to eat.
Durian has a funny odor that many people don't like, and the fruit is pretty unique in flavor.
give it a shot. I've never bought a frozen one before, let us know how you dislike it. (i'm saying dislike because the odor and taste will be unlike anything you've had before, and 9 times out of 10, that means you wont' like it)

the smell is bad, but it tastes ok and is very nutritious
i have the fruit in my native country and people hang around the tree to wait for it to fall and take them home.
It is not advisable to wait under a durian tree thou
you open it by using a kitche knife and split it.be sure to wear thick gloves thou

I thought it was because the fruit could kill you if it hits you.
To the OP, go for it. Its a gamble anyway.
durian... you definately are goign to dislike the smell.. id ont' knwo anyone who smells it and says "yum!" i know a bunch of peopel that will eat it though.. my mom likes it, but won't buy it cause it smells like a$$... i've tried it and i don't like it... i think to crack it open, you have to take a knife and break through the shell.. there's supposed to be like a place where you could do this.. some sorta soft part in the shell.. i'm not really sure.. ask the guy at the market.. to defrost i think you can just leave it in the fridge overnight.. beware, it takes a while to get rid of that smell

It has a unqiue/acquired taste. I suggest you can a small amount and try it out before you get a fresh one
yes, it will kill you instantly if a full grown durian falls on your head haha..
but gladly most people have enough common sense that waiting or sleeping under a tree with spiky balls attached to a branch a few mm thick is not a good idea
the story is different with coconut thou..mhhh..lets have a nap = you get to meet NEWTON SOON and he'll teach u physics!

In Singapore, Durian products (candy, etc) are banned in many subways and movie theaters due to the smell. I used to keep a tin of the candy for practical jokes on my guests.

Durian smells so bad, but my parents insist it takes very good. Since smell is associated with taste, I don't see how anything that smells that bad can taste good.

Sure, as long as you keep one in the fridge you'll never grow old.
