It wasn’t too recent but I will never forget how strange Durian Fruit tasted and to this day never tasted anything like it.
All Durian Fruit here in the U.S. is sold frozen because of it’s strong smell so I do note fresh Durian might differ. After thawing my frozen portion a strong strange unfamiliar smell filled the house so I took it outside to try.
The strong smell fascinated my dog. I didn’t offer him any since I didn’t know how it would affect him.
I tried the tiniest smallest amount and found it super concentrated with flavor. For a split moment it almost tasted like very rich creamy sweet banana custard and I thought it wasn’t bad but the taste grows and changes and then turns very oniony. Then it gets super oniony. The banana taste leaves and then it gets like super massive truckloads of rotten onions. That tiny maybe 1/8th of a teaspoon taste turned into like having 100 super rotten onions in my mouth.
I don’t think I’ll be trying Durian Fruit again.
