I grew up in South East Asia, so I have durian since I was a kid. Even there, not everybody loves it.
Most people cannot even stand the smell, the taste is unlike any fruit that you ever taste before. Only the most adventurous person should try it.
Anthony Bourdain loves it when he stopped by in Indonesia. I will let him describes the taste.
I notice that he does not know how to open the fruit properly.
I personally love it!!
One day, I brought a durian wafer cake to my office for my coworkers to try. It caused a little havoc, as most people could not stand the smell. This is NOT even the real durian.
One of my coworkers described it that it smells like a poop. . None of them dared to try it.
You can find Durian smoothie in Houston, I have not found one here in Austin.
I saw that episode. It was pretty funny. Think I'll tell my husband about it because he expressed interest in trying it
The only thing I hate about MT Market is that they sell shark fin's soup...... Talk about cruel, unusual and wasteful fishing.........I mean could imagine a deer hunter in Texas felling a doe and then proceeding to cut off its legs and leaving the rest to rot?
Do they not use the rest of the shark? I haven't seen (not that I've looked) shark steaks in ages but HEB used to sell marinated shark fajita meat back in the 90s. That was some good eatin'. Seems like there'd be a market for it somewhere.

I googled it, and there actually is quite a bit of controversy about shark fin soup. It seems they don't use the rest of the shark. From Wikipedia:
Quote:
According to wildlife conservationists, much of the trade in sharks' fins is derived from fins cut from living sharks; this process is called finning.[18] Because shark meat is worth much less, the finless and often still-living sharks are thrown back into the sea to make room on board the ship for more of the valuable fins.[18] When returned to the ocean, the finless sharks, unable to move, either die from suffocation or are consumed by other sharks or animals.
