Crazy Russian Hacker tries Durian - a very smelly fruit

I had to try it out after I saw Anthony Bourdain eat one on TV (I also saw him eat pig’s anus, but even there I draw the line).

It was probably one of the most delicious fruits I’ve had – like butterscotch pudding, sweet, custardy, fruity – EXCEPT that it was infused with something similar to machine oil and that odor you smell when you drive by a pulp mill.

I choked down about 5 tablespoons then started gagging on the 6th. Then I burped up that flavor for an hour afterwards.

I might try it again.
