Yeah, they have them at most of the asian groceries.
Tresbon, Alor or Cosy brands.

Just did a search. Prominent was the word "smelly". I'll stick with lemon.

The ripes ones on trees are pungent (and banned in touristy areas typically).
Unfortunately the ones we get here in Australia tend to lack both smell and flavour (they don't taste anything like they smell of course).

My only reason for knowing what they are is there is a Hell's Kitchen episode where the punishment for losing a challenge is having to process Durian and these professional chefs are just about dying from the smell.

Mat when he's by himself can get... excessive. When you pair him with like Matt from DemoRanch he can be funny as he has to tame it down a bit:


The fact that they make Eli shoot the AK is the best part

"Did you clean it?"
"OF COURSE I CLEANED IT!"
"HE CLEANED IT WITH SODA!"

"It rusts steel, especially communist steel"
"I don't speak Spanish"

I love durian, but I must admit that none of my friends that I've convinced to try some have shared my enthusiasm.

I also like when they make amputee jokes. That one dude who cut off his leg became a beast of a man.

Demo ranch I like best when reaper joins the party. That guys funny.

I think I like hickock45 best hes never obnoxious
 
@Sketch

Why hasn't the disgruntled Boeing factory worker ever returned? He was disliked by people on 'both sides' but I thought VivaRev brought a necessary level of character and vitality to the forum. A prolific thread starter too, even if his OP's were sometimes unhinged and insane. I think his deal was continually condoning violence against "international bankers" and elected officials.
 
Fun anecdote:
When I was in India, one of our hotels had a disclaimer on the rental contract demanding that we not bring any durian into the building.

A durian falling on a person's head can cause serious injuries because it is heavy, armed with sharp thorns, and can fall from a significant height. Wearing a hardhat is recommended when collecting the fruit.

The increased demand for durians in China has prompted a shift in Malaysia from small-scale durian orchards to large-scale industrial operations, with forests being cleared to make way for large durian plantations.

The Javanese believe durian to have aphrodisiac qualities, and impose a set of rules on what may or may not be consumed with it or shortly thereafter. A saying in Indonesian, durian jatuh sarung naik, meaning "the durian falls and the sarong comes up", refers to this belief.

1850s author:

The five cells are silky-white within, and are filled with a mass of firm, cream-coloured pulp, containing about three seeds each. This pulp is the edible part, and its consistence and flavour are indescribable. A rich custard highly flavoured with almonds gives the best general idea of it, but there are occasional wafts of flavour that call to mind cream-cheese, onion-sauce, sherry-wine, and other incongruous dishes. Then there is a rich glutinous smoothness in the pulp which nothing else possesses, but which adds to its delicacy. It is neither acidic nor sweet nor juicy; yet it wants neither of these qualities, for it is in itself perfect. It produces no nausea or other bad effect, and the more you eat of it the less you feel inclined to stop. In fact, to eat Durians is a new sensation worth a voyage to the East to experience. ... as producing a food of the most exquisite flavour it is unsurpassed

Travel and food writer Richard Sterling has a slightly different take:


its odor is best described as pig-excrement, turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock.

Don't fall for that durian shit.

I was forced to eat packaged durian and it smelled like a rotting corpse. I was then informed that fresh durian is triple the stench. When I tasted it, I gagged.

One of the worst things i've ever smelled, and I once got stuck 5 feet from a homeless guy on a fully packed street car that threw up what appeared to be rotten enchiladas and bile directly onto his own feet. In August. When it was like a hundred degrees out. And the streetcar was stuck at an intersection.
