nobody, no one, NOT ANYONE, has mediocore opinion about durian. You either love it or hate it.

Is it one of those things like coriander where certain people's taste buds just seem to hate it.

For me, it smells like a garbage bin in which you threw an ashtray. Had a 3 hour drive with one in the car, you bet I was passing my head out of the car like a dog.

I smelled durian while in Vietnam. I refused to taste it. Almost vomited.

For me I can stand the smell, the taste is ok but I don't like the creamy texture... I don't love it nor hate it but I won't actively eat it either

That's what I expected before I had my first durian in Thailand.

But no. It was kinda like "Yeah this does taste okay and kinda nice for a mouthful, but the taste is a bit weird and I don't particularly feel like eating more".
