So I decided to go to my local chinese market today to buy some hot mustard powder. As I was walking through the produce section( it's right at the entrance, so you have to go through it)I noticed the famous durian fruit. Upon hearing of its legendary flavour and infamous odor, I decided to buy it to see if it was really delicious. Needless to say, I was really stoked about eating this fruit (and at 30 dollars, who wouldn't?). So I came home, cracked it open, and ate a pieces. Good lord it was terrible. I don't understand why people say it's so good. It's like a cross between a yam, a melon, and a banana. It's not sweet at all and it's pretty dry. Maybe my palette isn't as sophisticated as those who enjoy durians, but I can't seem to figure out what makes this fruit so attractive to some people.
