Gummy Bear Brat
-
Bob Stehlik I have been down the durian path. It’s not for everyone, to be sure, but its ok.
True story. My wife and I were in Hong Kong almost 40 years ago and she bought a durian at an open market so I could try it. We took it back to the hotel and she cuts it up and we ate some…in the room. So far so good.
She takes the decidedly fragrant husk, seeds, and other inedible parts and wraps it up in a plastic bag and sets it outside the door in the hall for housekeeping to pick up. Not 10 minutes later, a male member of the staff knocks on the door and tells me as best he can in Cantonese that this was a really bad idea, and not to do it anymore. I got the message when he held his nose and shook his head. He was decent about it though, and was smiling the entire time , actually chuckling…at me. lol Crazy Americans… -
A foot note, durian sausage is only a slightly worse idea than gummy bear brats. lol

Disgusting! I bet next you’ll try Durian , (durian: fruit of flatulence. Forbidden in some markets). There you go; Will it BBQ–Durian. You can find it frozen in an Asian market.
Bob Stehlik Not only no but heck no.

GWG8541 I’ve had it a couple of times, raw and as icecream. A Vietnamese friend gifted me one and my wife gagged when she tried it. It’s kind of like the Limburger Cheese my Grandfather used to eat. After the first bite and the initial smell it’s tolerable, but still not my cup of tea.
Some people regard the durian as having a pleasantly sweet fragrance, whereas others find the aroma overpowering and unpleasant. The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust, and has been described variously as rotten onions, turpentine, and raw sewage. The persistence of its odour, which may linger for several days, led certain hotels and public transportation services in Southeast Asia to ban the fruit. However, the nineteenth-century British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace described its flesh as “a rich custard highly flavoured with almonds”. The flesh can be consumed at various stages of ripeness, and it is used to flavour a wide variety of savoury and sweet desserts in Southeast Asian cuisines. The seeds can also be eaten when cooked.
Bob Stehlik My Grandfather loved stink cheese. I am with you on everything.

I just figured the ones saying it was pretty good were looking for a sucker to try it, so I never had enough alcohol in me to try one. Even a Persimmon can taste pretty nasty if not ripe, but once they ripen up, I love them. It sounds like nothing in comparison to the great flatulence fruit.

GWG8541 If you lined up 10 people and gave them a taste of durian; 8 would puke and 2 would say tastes good to me. I know I like the taste of some things but my wife will gag if she tries it. I guess it’s kind of like Bourbon. Some people can taste all of the flavor notes and some people will just shudder and spit it out.

Just noticed the category for this, that’s fitting!

GWG8541 Persimmon is delicious & the little American ones are even better, so long as they are fully ripe. If not, they are extremely astringent & will turn you inside out. We love them, or at least I think I like them more than Margaret. We keep some puree frozen up for recipes throughout the year.
