We just bought a dorian fruit.. now what?

[LordJezo]

Umm.. yeah.

What do we do with it now?

 

[BennyD]

eh?

 

[Ns1]

take a really big knife

cut it open

hold your nose

take one out, and eat it



edit - it has like realy really big seeds, you eat the stuff around the seeds

 

[bigrash]

ewww!!! i hate that smell. and the taste is worse

 

[erikiksaz]

Find something to plug up your nose.



Well anyways, my mom usually uses a cleaver + a screwdriver to crack that motha open. You just have to find the softspot. Other than that, i couldn't tell you. I couldn't see what they were doing from the safety and comfort of my non-dorian smelling room

 

[0roo0roo]

[randomlinh]

Change the order so that "hold nose" comes first

They kinda have "seams" that run around them. Get a honking big knife and use it it open up the fruit along one of the seams. The seed pods containing the fruit are in an orange-segment kind of arrangement. The gooey/stringy yellow fruit is the stuff you eat (typically with your fingers).

Putting it in the fridge (not the freezer) overnight will make it less stinky if the smell bothers you at all.

If it is so bad, why does anyone want to eat it anyway?

Actually, they taste pretty good. Kinda vanilla-ish, but more pungent. It's one of those thing you either like or really hate. I've never seen anyone taste one and say "Hmm....not too bad."

If its frozen, I find dropping it on the floor a few times does the trick. It will usually bust at the seams on the top, where from there, you can peel and break it apart, getting the smelly yet unusually tasty fruit.

I must concur, most God-awful entity to ever come from a plant.

 

[anxi80]

throw it out the window. my best friend loves eating it. sometimes he'll leave what he didnt eat in the room in a bowl and let it sit for a few days. i can walk in the room and instantly know it. it smells horrible. he claims it tastes great once you get over the smell. im kind of curious, but i need nose plugs before taking a bite. the smell is truly god awful, but my friend says its a small price for such a delicious delicacy [sp?] (thats what he told me, in mayalsia, where he's from, its considered a delicacy)

 

[deerslayer]

Never even heard of it. I would suggest eating it

Pics?

I saw a video in my bio ap class a few days ago, they said that those smelly fruits can be smelt by even humans from upto a halfmile away. They say the inside is creamy and sweet, the guy in the video took a mouth full then spit it out...lol.

 

[gotsmack]

it tastes like mayo

 

[EvilYoda]

hehe, always an exciting time, when you get your first one. I remember when my mom bought us one in Toronto.........we made her throw it out immediately, since we were young and didn't know any better.

 

[axelfox]

Do you mean durian? That is funk

When I was in Singapore, there was a big sign in the lobby that said not to bring the fruit into the rooms because it takes a day to get the smell out.

 

[kt]

eh, durian tastes ok. I don't hate it, or like it extremely. I have no problem with the smell, but I wouldn't rub it in my nose or anything. Actually, the best part of the durian fruit is not the yellow stuff.. it's actually the seed itself. You know that you can eat that too right? Just steam the seeds and peel off the outside shell, then eat the white stuff inside. It's delicious.

 

[cressida]

durian?

 

[SyahM]

whoaa, i miss durian, it's been years since the last time i had it.
come on, the smell isnt that bad but the taste, OMG, the taste is so good.
OTOH, you cant have too many durian at once or else you'll increase your body temperature and might cause a fever.
Fortunately, you can prevent that by drinking water using the shell
Enjoy the durian and be very careful with the thorns.
By the way, i'm from Malaysia.
