I tried Durian.

******* vile. This sweet woman brought some durian flavoured chocolate for the office last year, we initially wondered what was causing the foul stench. Had to street bin (made sure others had a chance to try it but it was a resounding no) it far away, the biscuit tin it was in took a little while to lose the smell.

At least I know what it's like and I won't like the actual fruit.

Not going to be much of a series if no one is going to eat the stuff!!!

It's a good job we're not planning on given up our day jobs to live off ad revenue from a Youtube series

Shame about the stinking bishop, tastes fantastic. I'd highly recommend Balut if you really want to put someone off. I worked in the Philippines for some time, and I think the was the only thing I couldn't actually stomach trying.

We'll probably try the stinking bishop cheese again. It was just a timing issue last time. Balut gets a no from me straight off the bat because of what it is.

After Durian, we tried Stinking Bishop and surstromming. Well, actually we didn't. The cheese arrived while my coworker was away and it stank out a fridge so badly that it had to be binned. The cheese, not the fridge. That had to be scrubbed. Nobody was willing to try eating the surstromming, not even me. It smelled worse than the durian.

Anyone got any ideas for our "why eat that?" series? Food or drink. Free range civet faeces coffee is next on the list. I'll order that tonight.

I love Stinking Bishop, but my OH thinks it is disgusting

Nearly picked up some Andouillettes when in France at the weekend.
I've only had them once before in a restaurant near Lannion and they are an acquired taste, even more so if you know beforehand what they are.

I didn't know, so I looked it up. And now I wish I didn't know. The name sounds like a brand of toilet paper, which is appropriate

I think this post was spot on:

Humans are weird. If you found a rotting dinosaur, someone would eat it, and claim it was the best thing ever.

My civet faeces coffee arrived today. Guaranteed wild civet faeces coffee, so it's better in ethical terms. We'll try it next week, when everyone who might try it is in work.

Went to rural China for a business trip recently... Found some Chinese "candy" which on the packet looked appealing... what I didn't realise was it was actually durian fruit candy.

Never again.

Worked in Singapore for a few years and never got used to the smell of these. We had a co-worker who used to bring some in, if they're at perfect ripeness they don't taste too bad... worst part is your pee smells of durian the day after and you can't escape it

 

[silverblack]

Never heard of it, sounds like something out of the movie Dune

Superb.

Slightly disturbed by the amount of your day you're apparently spending around your own pee.

I've spent my money on some really pointless expensive **** in my time, but a fruit that smells and almost taste like **** is pushing it, even for me

It wasn't pointless. It satisfied my curiosity and provided some entertainment at work.

The civet faeces coffee I bought was a waste of money, though. Nice enough coffee, but nothing out of the ordinary and thus not worth the higher price.

Yeah, i guess your right. If we didn't satisfy out curiosities then what would we do. Pornhub is full of them.

There’s been some musang king durian available in Costco for a while. Anyone manage to get some and try?

Wife ordered 3 boxes which arrived at a local DpD pickup point , the staff asked me what was inside as themselves and a few customers had thought about a potential gas leak in the shop hahah
