I would love to try Durian someday. Unfortunately I don't know a single place in my entire province that sells fruit like this (hell, finding decent mangos that aren't rotten is an achievement in and of itself here). None of the local fruit stores I know of carry it, and the one time I asked someone in a grocery store they gave me a funny look. Do you know how I could find some of these? And how much do they cost?

[Suthenboy]

What province do you live in? I'm sure they have them at an Asian grocery store in one of the larger cities. Especially is there is a large Asian population. A frozen 8 pound durian cost around $16 US. Not sure the prices in Canada.

@Suthenboy do you know where you can buy it in maui?

[Suthenboy]

@fishloveronejae Asian grocery store... I don't know. I've never been to Maui

[shestudios]

Anybody know what it tastes like? Any comparisons?

[Suthenboy]

vanilla banana honey garlic custard... every bite of durian is a different taste experience... I'm eating one as I type... I actually just at an entire durian by myself... I don't recommend doing that, it's like drinking alone :(

[tsirahxuan]

Yes! Don't eat durians with spoons.. use your barehands.. it's finger licking good!

[mastacheeff]

somehow i dont believe a fruit that stinks like skunk diahrea thats been left out in the sun for a few month to be a aphrodesiac. its smell is horrible.

[ezydizzy]

Frozen durian does'nt taste as good as the fresher ones =/

[PH03N1XM4N]

these guys definitely ate a lot of durians .... XP

[darknessinyou]

I missed this fruit so much. I haven't ate any for four years. so freaking addictive this stuff you know.

[kize127]

durian smells but its so good

I admit I'm intrigued, though I don't know how long it will be until I can track one down locally. I don't believe I've ever seen one in a store around here. Though now I'll certainly be on the lookout.

@shestudios I just bought one and it's kind of like onions, custard, coconut, vanilla, banana and... I'm not sure what. Try not to breathe in while you eat it though lol. My boyfriend wouldn't have more than a taste lol

[aimsley420]

@EpsilonEagle123 I'm in Alberta and I just bought one at the Real Canadian Superstore. I'm glad I bought it.... wouldn't buy it again though. It was a pretty decent sized one, only cost about $3. It had been frozen but had thawed. Make sure that you let it thaw if it is frozen or it'll be harder to get open (just leaving it overnight would be fine).

It was surprisingly easy to open. Just look for the slit and dig in. If there's no slit, it's probably not ripe enough. Kind of smelly, creamy tho

Seriously, the people in this video knows durian best. They even know which is good and which is bad. I totally respect you guys because you embrace it unlike other westerners that equals them like toilet. But the thing that bugged me the most was the style of the presentation.....Kinda peculiar and weird.....

one type of durian in malaysia called durian kampong i so like. even its not so delicoius like new breed durian but the taste so sharp n little bit bitter. other than that is one type of wild durian in the jungle that plant by villagers called durian daun. this durian small only n their color so green but the smell is so strong n too stink. durian contain protein n tiger like it n its also proven through recording camera in domuntary channel. even cat like it n some of them is really2 like it.
