8/10 for effort
8/10 for taste (at a guess)
1/10 for presentation, did you use a shovel?

 

[Craig1981]

Oh hardy har har!

Screw presentation. Just slop it down on the plate and then demolish it! Not trying to impress anybody

Suppose it doesn't matter in Scotland

Just had two pieces of Durian fruit. This fruit (size wise - it's just about bigger than my head) cost me £20... I'm guessing there are 6, maybe 7 pieces in this so that works out to be about £2.85/£3.33 per piece. That is one expensive fruit

Spoiler

 

[Craig1981]

Never tried Durian before. Is it good?

 

[MisChief]

You either love it or hate it... Some people can't even stand the smell of it, let alone eat it The smell is so strong that if you have one at home (opened or unopened) and if someone enters your house they will immediately smell it.

 

[cainer]

its the one they call vomit fruit on im a celeb get me outa here lol

 

[MisChief]

Vomit fruit... Never heard of that one before! It has been described as smelling like cat poo though.. again, it's either a love or or hate it fruit. It smells nice to some people, smells horrible to others.

Pretty risky £20 then unless you know you already like it

It's only so expensive here because it has to be imported, otherwise these only cost 1/2 or 1/4 of the price in southeast Asia.

I grew up eating Durian because of where my mum is from, so yeah I deffo know I like them

Heeheehe I can't help it if I'm Asian and eat these sort of things

Have you tried it before then? I remember when I went to Malaysia 6 years ago and tried durian ice cream for the first time.... It's so yum Durian mochi and durian pancakes are also yum. I'm looking forward to getting home tonight and finishing the remaining half of the durian

I've always wanted to try durian fruit. Shame it's so expensive over here. I'm pretty sure I've seen it in one of our local markets for less than that though so maybe I'll get round to picking one up sometime.

The price depends on the weight/size of the durian. The one I picked was probably around 2.5/3kg.

This ons is £37.99
