1. I'd give it a try

I don’t believe the video contained a description of the smell, which would be crucial to my acceptance or disapproval. ‘Ugh, that’s bad’ doesn’t convey the essence of the badness. Most things I can handle, up to & including lutefisk, but the scent of rancid milk is like kryptonite to me. Triggers a gag reflex that’s hard to suppress. I’ll keep an eye out for durian and let it be a surprise.

2. The smell of DURIAN fruit is like year old gym socks, that have never been washed,....but the taste is divine

The flavor is kind of like sweet onion but in a custard form. I really love to eat it, but word of warning, NEVER EAT IT BEFORE A HOT DATE!
