@lupyuen wow $48. In Cambodia $2/kilo on any market. 😮

@BrianA Yep some folks say that Durian smells like poo too 😉

@lupyuen
I really don't get how people have such a negative reaction to Durian. It's delicious, and it smells too me like a mix of passion fruit and custard... *shrugs*
@BrianA

@Blort, thanks to my feed composition I read Durian as Debian and was confused why you were so oddly specific (-; @lupyuen, sorry for peaking at the price tag but it seems to be really expensive. Where I'm from it's not as costly (although still isn't something to have on regular basis), but it's really difficult to get some decent ones. I've heard that all the good ones are exported, so cheers!

@Blort
This page says some people find the odour of durian fruit very pleasant and others hate it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durian
Maybe it's one of those weird genetic things. Like cilantro tastes like soap to some people britannica.com/story/why-does- (me) or brussel sprouts taste nasty to others compoundchem.com/2014/12/04/br (not me).

@lupyuen @BrianA

@gemlog @Blort @BrianA Hmmm not sure if Durian is a Gene Thing like Cilantro? People say that Durian is an Acquired Taste. BTW cats hate Durian too 🙂

@lupyuen
Yeah, I didn't live durian the first time I tried it. I think it was about the third/ fourth time I fell in love.
