I don't understand why whites and many other non Asians say that Durian smells bad
I mean...It really smells good! I don't eat it it (because its kinda troublesome) but i don't hate it. Maybe its due to the place of your upbringing?
Just a fun fact: Durian means Thorniness or as I like to call it, Horniness in malay
(not a proper translation though)
So I finally got around to google search Durian. It turns out I like that fruit a lot and eat it occasionally. I didn't ever notice a bad smell to it. I always called it Spikey fruit to my family and friends.
You're not confusing it with jackfruit are you? Cause the smell's
really strong. Either that or whenever you eat it, it's in an open space.
Maybe it's upbringing for most, but I've been around it since I can remember but I never got used to the smell. It's like my cat's litter box, only 10x worse.
