noitom Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 If you substitute "Thai politics and blatant corruption" for the newspaper's characterization of durian, it works well: "The spiky Thai politics and blatant corruption has long been known for its penetrating and pungent odour and is offensive to those who do not have an acquired taste for it." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DurianIslandKoThurian Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Now, the question is if the durian is bred to be odourless or genetically modified to be odourless. GM/GMO is poison. Corporate America has too much tech... http://health101.org/gmo.htm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmitch Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 This is like drinking beer without fizz. This is like eating melted ice cream, cake without icing, steak without gravy, etc. IT IS JUST PLAIN WRONG!!! WR@NG You obviously wouldn't appreciate a good English real ale then. And steak with gravy? Or am I the one with odd tastes? However I do agree with your sentiment, if not the examples you have provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DurianIslandKoThurian Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Why start with durian, when we have feet, belly-buttons, and other more objectionable pongs? The latter can much more easily just be addressed by the common hygiene, and the not so common Natural Hygiene (aka natural living, eg raw vegan low fat fruits etc).

BigRick Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Its like eating custard in a dirty urinal That is the best way I have heard someone describe it. I use to consider it Vietnamese birth control my old girlfriend would eat that and I would not get near her. My current Thai girlfriend said the Thais eat it differently than the Vietnamese I guess that I will never know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Our taste relies heavily on smell. If one takes a way the smell.. the result sounds like eating Thai food in western country. The basic form is there, but taste is more like eating paper towels. I guess this could be an first step for introducing durians for new consumers. Also hotels etc. can allow the fruits to their selections as the smell would not disturb the customers who have not yet learned to love the odor.

Chopper Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Is this a genetically modified form of the natural fruit? I am not sure but genetically modified food is great. I mean, just last night I had a delicious leg of salmon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnAllan Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 i've actually sampled one of these and didn't notice any difference at all.. that was until i realised i was still wearing my stale & sweaty week old hiking socks at the time.

ginjag Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I've never tried Durian or really examined one too much because of how many people (locals) I know who have got sick from eating bad ones. I wonder if not having a natural odor will help identify ones that have gone bad. Regardless, I'd be more in favor of seeing more availability of seedless fruits. Lovely odour, pungent, eating them for 31 years --and NEVER ever heard of locals being sick through eating them, but living amongst the people locally, I have a good Idea on reality. The problem with the fruit is that very few locals eat them, 3 pieces in a pack sell in the shops for 150 bht, half a days wage, out of reach of LOCALS, In one soft piece there is one stone and is no problem, pips tend to get inbetween your teeth, these really are NOT pips. Be adventurous try one you will not be sick. do google give stats on sick durian eaters, sorry--had to put that in but do not mean to be nasty, only a joke. smile.

Sweaty socks is the nearest term to describe the smell, SURE, I like that. Most people smile when they smell durian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

how241 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Is this a genetically modified form of the natural fruit? I'm actually eating some very ripe durian right now as I write; it's very rich and creamy, like eating cake. It's undoubtedly an intriguing fruit. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazydrummerpauly Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 At least the results of beer-durian fermentation should be less odiferous and offensive, albeit messy. "I have been told by a number of people that beer can be fatal, if drunk within a few hours of eating durian. This is apparently on account of some fermentation process, which causes your bowels to explode." Yeeeeoouuuw - haha, never wanna see that !

Not sure about the exploding bowels part (or if combining alcohol is even needed to cause this) but know there are a number of people who have died and been hospitalized after mixing Durian and alcohol. I think it has something to do with Durian slowing down the bodies ability to break down the alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
