I'm told that this fruit is like a double edged sword and you have a love/hate relationship with it? You either love it or hate it!! It has a very strong pungent aroma but if you can get past the smell, the fruit itself is heavenly?? The smell is so strong that airlines forbid carrying this fruit on board the plane!! I'm not sure if it can be grown here in Australia but is common in the SE-Asian tropical region? I believe that the fruit is versatile in that it can be used in various foods, e.g. ice cream, pastry or even a drink!

O I so so so love the taste of durian. But you either love it or hate it. To quote someone, it is the smelliest custard you can find in the world. The durian tree can only be grown in tropical countries from my knowledge. Usually people hate it even before tasting it, but once you have a bite of the fruit you would be hook. It all depends on whether you dare to take the first bite. hahaha :)
