  • i love durian.......muah muah,

  • i have been to malaysia and i dont remember i f i eaten this durian but dont think it smelles that bad so bald guy dont be a pussy

  • For some reason this ticked me off. I love durian and the smell. I get the tour guide because I'll be pissed too if someone just came and said to everyone watching the show that durian sucked.

  • I think the guide thought he was being disrespectful, but he really wasn't. He said it smells bad only to foreigners. Well obviously not, because otherwise hotels and train stations wouldn't ban it. I enjoy foods that I know others don't like, and people eat things I can't imagine putting in my mouth. It's all about personal taste. The people in some cultures think Westerners are crazy for drinking cow milk, and I'm not offended that they think so. I think the guide was kind of rude about it.

  • HOW DARE YOU NOT EAT THE DURIAN! IT IS SOOOO SWEET (T^T) p.s u have failed me.

  • I wish i could post this on all pages of Andrews. "how does your wife put up with you you must have some bad gas" God bless your wife. But you are just so awesome

  • hahaha this part is awesome, I watched the show on a morning after with a bunch of friends and that guys accent was so epic when he says " the smell is unique Right" that we cracked up for at least an hour after that!!

  • what a pussy durian is the king of fruits

  • he is a panzy Durian is my fav fruit:)

  • haha! of course the sambal is spicy! thats why you eat it with rice!

  • And that so called bizarre sausage it's just actually pork wrap in bean curb skin.

  • Penang's the Best!! Diversity of food. Food are sold literally 24 hours a day.

  • He is disrepective

  • Durian is delicious first it does not smell second it taste good!!

  • Actually it is very subjective; A good durian needs just enough rain, temperature and species. I have eaten durians that didn't agree to my taste but it is usually because it is too damp and clingy.

  • durian rice<----BOMB!

  • Actually durian does not smell that bad, it smells like honey... and the flesh...OOOOOOOOO DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELICIOU­S :) taste like starched up honey :) 

  • he is a jerk....can't even eat the durian.....but can eat the frog heart.....Durian is similar to some of the American cheese.....some of the cheese smell is worst than durian.

  • @GechlangloveLymeng I heard it's like custard. How is not wanting to put something in your mouth make you a jerk? At the end of the day, it's his mouth.

  • Weak Sauce. He's eaten rotting shark meat, maggot infested cheese, bulls testicles, bulls blood, jungle rodent, stinky tofu, bull schlong, and this Fruit is the worst he's ever tasted. It's a sweet fruit, if too ripe can be a very mushy fruit, but if picked just right it can be a good firm fruit, it's smell is strong, but it's not too bad.

  • better eat durian rather than a lizzard...thums up if agree...

  • hmm,i dont know why peoples cant eat Durian.....its a fruit bro....just eat a bit,dont swallow the whole thing,malaysian didnt eat like that...

  • onion? not even close to....

  • hahah he's the king of eating weird stuff and he cant eat one of the best fruits ever!!!

  • 7:48 if its nasty why he lick his lips lol

  • Please help me-- what is the music at the very end?? I cannot find anything like it!

  • @Petrasa I found it- "Future Primitive" from the Serenity Music - Tropical Nights compilation. This music was produced & recorded by Mark Mueller & Scott Nelson, in conjunction with Mogul Music.com

  • 7:40 lol first time i seen Andrew vomit, guy in green shirt laughing at him

  • Some of the things he said is kinda insulting... I mean rotten mushy onions... it's not really that bad...

  • @iBunny96 When I tried durian, I didn't taste any onions. It tasted like raw sewage and smelled like a sewer and toilet water. He was too kind to the foul fruit IMO.

  • @BunchesBundles77 Haha... I see~ You should try the other local fruits here tho~ It's nice :D

  • haha... durian is a wonderful fruit. For first timers, you should try to bite a small piece at first and let it melt on your tongue. It is really sweet that way...Don't be so greedy and chew the whole thing. Haha.

  • Bite your tongue ... How dear you disrespect the Durian...that's what the farmer was thinking

  • I guess Durian is one of those hate it or love it food...

  • Durian is delicious! Andrew fails!

  • To some people, durian smells like hell, but it smells like heaven to me.

  • I love durian for the taste and the smell

  • For those of you wondering about the smell, I once walked into an asain market that reeeked of fish and meat and not even looking I picked up the smell of these things while they were still in their thorny housing. I thought they were rotten untill i did more research on them.

  • Yeah, they are selling durian in Chinese food store, and they taste okay, at least it won't make you spit it out right away.

  • Durian is so nice, for me it taste like chocolate cause it's a bit bitter and sweet. Damn, I hvnt eat durian for years, miss it

  • the blood cubes are the best part of noodles! i love blood cubes! it doesn't really taste like anything at all

  • And seriously on the durian part, "Finally an honest reaction"?

    Please Andrew, if it smells bad to you, doesnt mean it has to smell bad for everyone else, not everyone hates the smell of durian...i dont mind the smell at all (although the smell stays on your hands even after washing it with soap and wont go off for awhile) and really, i LOVE durian, my whole family loves durian (except my younger bro though) and i prefer eating it fresh as a fruit instead of as cakes, icecreams, etc etc

  • Since i live in Penang, i couldnt wait to see this part and see how he eats Penang food but im surprised though, the noodles he was eating at 5:15 looks like Curry Mee and its 1 of the dishes Penang is famous for but he called eating the coagulated blood unpleasant? It doesnt taste THAT bad, actually it doesnt taste much at all, just a faint taste of blood perhaps?

  • Does Andrew know that red flesh durians don't have as pungent an odor and taste as white flesh durians?

  • the bloodcake at 5.28 has barely any flavour! andrew is exaggerating things a teeny weeny bit.

  • i love durian, durian cake and durian icecream.. gosh his so weak ! weak!

  • aww i pity andrew, im a malaysian. aww shucks andrew, u let me down! ='(

  • What a waste of good Durian

  • Marelei? LoL it's pronounced as Mer-lay. LoL!!!!!!!

  • this is the first time i see him spit some food out OMG! -.-

  • this is one brave guy...i saw him eat a spider....a big spider...

  • Coolinary. xD

  • i couldn't believe it when i saw him do the wow thing.. -.-'!

  • Mutton a strange food in asia. What a load of bollocks. It is an Indian restraurant you pillock. Zimmern can not make television.

  • Mutton a strange food in asia. What a load of bollocks. This can not make television.

  • There are many types and grades of Durian, naturally the most expensive type taste the best and the cheap kind really does taste like shit.

  • I don't see why some people hate durian

  • i like durian

  • Mmmm Durian! It smells so sweet and duriany <3 It's has a creamy texture, sweet taste with a distinct taste XD To someone who's grown up with this delicacy it's quite the welcomed smell XD The smell sometimes beat the actual presence by 5minXD

  • What? I dont understand you Mr Zimmern, you eat raw meat, raw heart, eyeballs and all those other weird stuff that most of us wouldnt even dare to try but you cant down a bite of the Durian fruit? Now that's BIZARRE. It doesnt even taste that bad at all. Peace.

  • ive seen alot of what Andrews eaten and the fact he cant handle durian is just funny. not being mean but he can handle some of THE MOST bizarre foods in the world but the durian [something i quite like] he cant stomach. i really don't know what he doesnt like about it.

  • Funny how he eats moving creatures but can't stomach a mere fruit. Sure, durian may have a unique smell but at least it's not moving.

  • It's usually the Westerners that don't like the smell of durians.

  • durian is quite good

  • theres a lot of grades/taste for the durian..there's sweet, bitter sweet, plain bitter, creamy and super super sweet just like ice cream..the gardener should have given him the sweet one coz i bet andrew was given the bitter one..thus the reaction..hahaha..bourdain on the other hand tried the sweet ones, thats why the liking..

  • smell blows

  • he cant pronounce malay words at all haha

  • I've never hated the smell OR taste of durian. In fact, I love it.

    Sad thing is, it's one of the more expensive fruits around here, especially the good ones. Good ones being those with dark yellowish innards which taste very sweet and has stronger smell than the others.

  • i like durian but even a tablespoonfull gives me constipation

  • durian is really good

  • PWNED!

  • I thinking he offended that man allot.

  • why do the people in the vietnamese restaurant i work at call it jakfruit instead of durian??? whats the difference??

  • @kaneda956 Jackfruit and durian are two completely different fruit. Jackfruits are sweet and sometimes a lil tangy. I have not had durian before so I couldn't even start to explain about that fruit lol.

  • I'm asian so durian smells awesome :D

  • Durian smell cat shit , but the taste like sweet creamy cheese , trust me try to eat a litte bite each time , you will be enjoy this.

  • durian may not smell good but it taste good :3

  • I don't like the taste of durian, but I have never felt I had to spit it out. I think his reaction was for effect.

  • durian is good. unique smell lol .

  • What! i love those blocks of pig's blood!

  • I LOVE DURIAN!!

  • Damn the chef such a pussy cant stand the taste of durian....

  • i dont think he should call himself King of weird stuff. Just saying.

    Lol. Anthony bourdain loves Durian!~

  • lol i laugh about how people pronounce muslim as mooslum

  • hate the way he pronounces Malay.. retard

  • the first time i tasted durian it tasted sweet the smell you may not like. cause it smells a little bad. but tastes good

  • When I first tried Durian, it was okay. The texture is very creamy and sweet with slight hint of onion and citrus. As you swallow, it is slightly bitter though. And the aftertaste lasts quite a long time, so I couldn't eat a lot. Not bad for a first taste-test if you ask me, looking at Andrew!

  • I've watched a lot of this show, and seen Andrew eaten some of the most rancid, absurd looking stuff this planet has to offer. I can't believe this is the ONE thing he couldn't keep in his mouth. I have to try it.

  • lol smells shweet shweet

  • i like how he says blanchan lol

  • kiddin me ?? Duran rocks !!!

  • Andrew shouldn't have chewed the durian with its seed.

  • some ppl like it, some don't, even Asian ppl

  • i really dont notice any smell. maybe my nose doesnt work.

    but i can taste the durian fruit is really delicious

  • Andrew, you could have tried the Marang fruit too..

  • @umapas747 mas lami jud durian kaysa marang....

    Ambot langgggg..... gigutom hinoon ko tan-aw ani nga bidyo naay durian...

  • He got owned by durian.

    Of all things he got owned by a fruit instead of a penis, heart, frog and snails.

    HaHa

    But, Respect, he is great.

  • FAIL !

  • DURIAN IS THE BEST!!!!!!

  • Wat the heck.. he couldn't handle durian? The best fruit in the world haha

  • Damn this guy can eat all the shit from around the word but cant eat durian! Fail

  • Durian is a dangerous fruit.. its so heavy. if it falls you're dead. lol..

  • if that guy can't eat it, then i doubt anyone in america thats white can eat that.

  • @TheCruzmeister im in america im white and i like it :)

  • wow that's the only thing he hasn't been able to eat

  • asia has many different paste...

  • well that is common in my country

  • i loveeeeee durian !

  • The less sharp durian is much much better and no smell...

  • hahaha "what does that smell like?".....shwiit....shweeet" hahahhahah

  • coagulated blood is reely gud

  • hahhaha I laugh when Andrew asked the guy ...how's this smell... he was like.. "sshweet"" heheh sound like shit.

  • Durian might smell bad but it taste great ;]

  • It's BLACHAN not Blanchan...and learn to pronounce Ikan Bilis and Malay

  • there are 2 kind of durian one is a bitter one which has a coffee type falvour and the sweeter one which has a creamy flavour , I think he ate the bitter one

  • holy shit, durian is the best.

  • Andrew Zimmerman is a knob.

  • Isn't Ikan Bilis...or how you spell it...ANCHOVIES instead of fish roe? Hmmm...

  • malaysia my hometown..belacan?hha

  • such an idiot, who eats that stuff alone? you're supposed to eat it with rice! you wouldn't eat the salad dressing alone would ya?

  • ehh? durian really doesnt smell that bad to me...i actually like how it smells....and its really sweet too....

  • Sambal is best as Orlek

  • that is strange, i love Durian. But my dad gags anytime durian is around.

  • Im very enjoed this up

  • Wow - If Andrew Zimmerman can't hand Durian then I fear there is no hope for me. Though I would have to say that I would be more likely to try Durian than beating frog's heart.

  • It hurts to hear him pronounce ikan bilis.

  • The guy can eat a beating frog's heart but can't keep a piece of durian in his mouth for 3 seconds?

  • I've seen tis on natgeo already

  • I don't like Durian. I really don't. xD

  • The full ripe durian would be way too aggressive for him. He should try the half-way ripe version - crispy outside, soft in side - better texture and less smell. This style is common in Thailand but not in Malaysia.

  • can't blame him, i understand that durian is a little hard to accept at first. need a lot of courage to keep a piece in your mouth for 10 seconds on your first try!

  • iam so shocked he couldnt even keep the durian in his mouth. it taste so smooth and silky. nothing like rotten onions. durian is the kolbe beef of fruits

  • Durian is the best fruit I've eaten. I love the smell. Smells really uniquely sweet and pungent. Its texture is smooth and slippery, and the fleshy skin (not the sharp covering) is a little rubbery. I can't believe I can eat something that Andrew can't even chew for five seconds, considering he's eaten a lot of bizarre stuff. I can't blame him though. Even among malays, people there either really hate durian or like it. Like others said, durian is totally different from jackfruit.

  • The thing about durian is that the taste can vary a lot from fruit to fruit. I think he had bad luck.

  • You have to take into consideration though that there are different qualities of durian.

  • Yea I agree. Some can be really pungent, while some are not. But those who hate durian hates even the smell of it, even if the durian is the least pungent

  • Really? I'll have to look for more than. I've only had one durian and it was some of the nastiest stuff I've ever eaten. Then again, I had no idea how long it had been sitting in the store when I bought it.

  • @ziderazzi People experience taste different based on certain genetic traits. Example most people can't taste propylthiouracil but "supertasters" will found it really bitter.

  • @ziderazzi

    I can agree about durian in 10000 %. Fruit has strong, unique, sometimes hard to stand smell itself, but all in all it just TASTE delicious. regards

  • @ziderazzi delicious, right?

  • durian is nice ..

    ^.^

  • Can't wait till Bizarre World...

  • durian is sooooooooooo good, it's fruit from heaven.....i prefer eat that rather than worm, bat, cricket that the Andrew man used to eat

  • Im very enjoed this up.

  • I just can't believe he can't eat that!

    I use to eat it all the time

  • Durian I have tried that many times and when I was little I enjoyed it soo much.

    The smell was kinda funky but I think it smells better later when you get used to it

  • he fakes alot XD!

  • There is also another slightly smelly fruit that is suppose to be available in Penang, it is called Marang in the Phil. WIth soft longer spikes it is relative to jack fruit. when the fruit smells like the new rubber wheels of cars then Marang is ok to eat, sweet, hope he finds it.

  • really funny u mention jack fruit becuase in jamaica we call it the same thing.. i thought it was just us

  • yup, there are lots of english words refering to same items. nice aint it? in our local language jack fruit is LANGKA. how about in your language? ah this one is not bizarre.. you eat this m sure.

  • they call it jackfruit in jamaica,,its the best thing.. i havnt seen it in america

  • Yep, Jackfruit is different from Durian. Jackfruit is langka, Durian is durian.

  • mabye that asian at the durian plant was like ill get this fat fucker and wiped his ass with the durian b4 he servered it to andrew?

  • Durian is banned in many places because of its stench. It smells like gasoline, its tastes sweet but the smell when you eat it makes it hard for some to eat it. it can give ppl headaches. I tried durian cake which is pretty good, and I can eat durian but just a bit, before it gets jaded. Im disappointed that he couldn't eat it, but does this mean, i can eat anything that he can?

  • i ate durians a lot in my country, well, although it reeks

  • arrrg my relatives in hong kong bring them back to our apartment and cut them open and eat them in the living room and it ussually makes me gag arrrg that smell

  • at least it will shoo away the insects in the room, haha, joke, peace

  • Durian tastes like mushy fried onions but I'm surprised he couldn't eat it. Maybe it was that one messed fruit that he got unlucky with.

  • I like the "blood cakes" in my pho.

  • whammy

  • in indonesian durian is nice . and SAMBAL is spicy ......

  • lol that was funny he ate bats, guinea pigs and drank blood, and u spit out durian??? wth? durian mmmmm yummmmmmo..

  • I'm American and I like durian. We have it here in Hawaii. But the flavor seems to change from one extreme to another, from one fruit to another...so you never really know what you're going to get. Its always a surprise. Note: don't eat it before going on a date.

  • durian is good to all azn ppl but its like kryptonite to americans

    durian is good!!!!!!! wtf u been smoking...(or eating in your case)

  • ....durian is so normal -_- ODD fruit?!?!?!?!? THIS GUY ATE TESTICLES and he spit out durian....

  • Wow he lost to a durian?

    It's the most normal food in the video.

  • I know he himself can't beleve that.

  • He should have eaten it with rice... haha

  • durian fruitcake or ice cream its very good

  • durian is quite delicious

  • I can't believe either Andrew. I just can't.

  • >> Haha. Ha. When he spat out that durian, they guy was like "...." And it was hilarious.

  • Teh tarikkkkkkk :D

  • And ohyeah. Go durian.

    Even Andrew can take you down. hahah :D

  • ahaha.. I just made sambal yesterday. I miss msia!

  • durian is nice ¬¬ it dont taste like mushy onions!

  • i have seen this guy eaten way worse things than durian

    sometimes i would prefer eating durian to lamb or chicken skin on a stick =/

  • he shud try faggots a british delicacy

  • hahaha
