Has anyone eaten this or prepared it? I'm curious about foods that I
consider odd.

I've eaten it in Malaysia and really recommend it; it's absolutely
delicious, creamy and sweet. It was prepared for us, just the flesh
scooped out of the raw fruit.

The whole fruit does stink like something died; so bad hotels and
planes won't allow customers to bring durian. But the taste of the flesh
is heaven.

I wonder sometimes what on earth made people taste something that smells
so bad. By all accounts it is delicious but it sounds like a case of,
"Hey, Kam, I dare you to take a bite out of this!"

Well, whoever first looked at a live lobster or prawn or raw egg and
thought "mmmmmm, I bet that tastes good ".

Never tried a durian but does the flesh smell when you eat one in a
restaurant or are nose plugs provided?

I've eaten some here in the US, raw. It's a good idea to eat it outside, and you may need to hold your nose shut when you eat it to avoid the smell. It tastes OK for a fruit, though.

Like eating custard in an outhouse.

You can get Thai durian in the US, but it's not picked fully ripe. In
Malaysia they wait till it thumps on the ground. Sometimes its cousin
jackfruit is a little stinky -- jackfruit reminds me of Juicyfruit gum.

I have tried eating durian and it's really tasty. It's a fruit most common on Southeast Asian countries. They consider it the king of fruits if I'm not mistaken. Most people didn't like this fruit because of it's strong odor but I find it okay. For me it smells good.
