TRYING DURIAN THE STINKIEST FRUIT IN THAILAND!
2023-09-04 · YouTube · Foodie Beauty · 9 min
Chantal tries durian for the first time while in Thailand. She buys a small portion at a market (230 baht), comments that the smell is overwhelmingly strong — describing it as garlic, garbage and cabbage — and that the odor can become nauseating if stored in a bag or home. Despite the pungent smell, she and others find the taste pleasant: creamy, like vanilla custard with fruity notes (between mango and avocado). She recommends wearing gloves when handling and warns that the smell will linger but tends to dissipate after eating.
