Answer #3

It is a fruit of several tree species belonging to the genus Durio and the Malvaceae family. The edible flesh emits a distinctive odour, strong and penetrating even when the husk is intact. Some people regard the durian as fragrant; others find the aroma overpowering and offensive. The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust, and has been described variously as almonds, rotten onions, turpentine and gym socks. Here are what a few people said it taste like: It is neither acid nor sweet nor juicy; yet it wants neither of these qualities, for it is in itself perfect. “like eating sweet raspberry blancmange in the lavatory.” It was compared to taste like “completely rotten, mushy onions.” lol it sounds horrible. Its been forbidden from establishments such as hotels, subways and airports. Must be that bad :/ http://funadvice.com/r/14pr4v45h48

Answer #4

It is the most smelly fruity ever. If you have a look at Ericson Smith’s photo album you will see the durian fruit. The fruits are forbidden in most Asian hotels as the smell is very strong and offensive. The hotels we have been in at Hong Kong and Bali prohibit guests bring the fruits into the rooms and if you do, they give you a fine.
