My own perception of the durian's aroma is of a toddler's full diaper mixed with a splash of kerosene. I'm the type who tries almost anything once, and so I tasted durian when it was offered to me, and it has a wonderful, complex flavor.

For those who are more squeamish, there's always jackfruit.

    I just don't understand this and am beginning to wonder if it's one of those "can smell asparagus in pee" sort of phenomena, because while clearly an unpleasant smell, I have never got the extreme comparisons to sewage and shit. It's not a nice smell but it's just nowhere near as disgusting to me as people make it out to be.
