""""The smell is not just like raw sewage, but abundant, particularly pungent raw sewage on a sweltering, steaming hot day in a poor underdeveloped nation where the local diseases are reflected in the sewage in the worst possible way."""""""

do we have the name of the 1st human to partake of this ......fruit?

Surely, something must be named after that person. Perhaps his/her family manufactures airplane barf bags.

believe it or not,

I felt the same way about the smell of durian the first time I smelled them. I thought a camel defecated somewhere in my vicinity.

After living in malaysia three years though, I actually found the smell kind of pleasant.

Now what REALLY stinks is the fermented tofu in Taiwan. Thought my young son had filled his diaper. And I NEVER got used to that smell.
