Have you ever eaten a durian? What does it taste like? (mander.xyz)

I haven't. I'm not even sure I've seen one. I've definitely read about them, but I'm not sure I understand what they smell like or what they taste like and how is it possible that people can comfortably eat something that they agree it smells horrible. We're not talking stinky like cheese or salami, but actually unpleasant if I understand correctly.

So please, do share your experience! Thanks

To me it smells like burnt rubber or eggs. I've not yet had the opportunity to try fresh durian, but the canned durian and durian wafers/candy I've tried have all been decent, and don't taste like burnt rubber.

Not my favourite fruit flavour, but not terrible like the majority of people seem to think.
