Have you tried to taste or smell a durian fruit? As I know this fruit is very nutritious and it is also considered as a anti-cancer fruit, but most people did'nt try it because of it's unique odor. In my first try of Durian I really threw it from my mouth I can't take it's odor and taste but as I taste it many times since it's my parents and my siblings' favorite fruit, I always tried it because I'm really curious why my relatives what it, then I tried again and this time I found it tasty! LOL now it's also my favorite and I'm addictive to it, in our country there is a certain place you will get this fruit with a good grow/breed? so we can't get it always, I'm always requesting it to my father. Have you tried this one? Can you share how's your first taste of this fruit?
Sorry for my English, I can't translate some of words of mine but I hope you understand it. Merry Christmas Mylotters, Enjoy! :D

prashu228 it is not jack fruit, durian thorns is really hard that can cause injury, not like jackfruit it has soft thorn and has a sweet smell. Durian has a different smell that you will not like I think when you smell, but it is tasty? I think LOL and it is heathy fruit! :D

Durian is really good! Me and my hubby love this fruit when first tried it in Thailand then next was china and kind of pricey too but it's worth it and we are loving it. The first try was awesome and we just had our nose full covered haha

I haven't tasted the raw fruit yet. What I have tasted is the durian candy. I guess I can say that it is satisfactory and I will try it again of given the chance. I've yet to taste the raw fruit. I haven't had the chance to get my hands on them.

You should try it. Maybe for first time you will not like it because of it smells but when you try it you will love it.

I've seen a guy on travel channel try it a few times and he can't stomach it. He says it is worse than stinky feet. This guy will eat live bugs but can't stomach that fruit.

Hi
I never tasted durian fruit. But The picture seems/resembles the jack fruit which we call in our country. Is durian the jack fruit? or related family. Jack fruit has very good sweet smell.

I remember long time ago when I ate the durian, I didn't like it at all because it had a terrible smell for me. I didn't get used to that smelling and I didn't understand why people would enjoy eating this fruit. But later when I tried it again, it was not so awful. And as time goes by, I start to like this fruit.

I have never tried Durian before, though I have heard of it. None of our supermarkets carry this fruit and neither is it found at any of the local farmers markets in the summer. I would love to try this fruit. What fruit family is it from? How is that you didn't like the taste at first, but now you do? What is the texture? I wonder if I could order it online somewhere. It would be an interesting fruit to try.

To be honest, even though I am a Filipino, I haven't tasted Durian because I really don't like its pungent odor. I've eaten Durian candy,though. It tastes good and the smell is more tolerable than the real fruit itself.
