Durian...smells so bad Andrew Zimmern couldn't eat it

. My Asian family can devour this fruit in seconds.

I used to eat these quite a lot when I lived in Vietnam, but nowadays, not so much.

[adiosburritos]

for me the worst thing about Durian isn't the smell but the texture of the fruit.

it's like eating something that has been pre chewed

 

[wanksta23]

we used to have a tree at our old house.

theres a huge tree a few houses down filled with these, and the home owners dont even eat them, so every night when i walk my dog i try to get a couple, sometimes a branch

loquats...so damn good

yo in order to put your bro's down you gotta atleast name the damn thing

also I wanna add these in the mix...yellow dates.

they take some getting used to, not really exceptionally sweet but once you get used to them their great. Leave a wierd parched taste in your mouth but I like em.
