Durian

Tried this Durian fruit I had read so much about while in Thailand. Supposedly a very stinky fruit, so much so, that some of the hotels we stayed in had signs of the fruit and stated it was not to be brought into the hotel.

My impressions:

Not that stinky, but mine was mildly refrigerated.

Creamy, custard would be a good description of the texture.

Taste for me was neither good or bad just different. The price on the other hand was IMO way too much to pay for the fruit. 400B ($10) for fruit in Thailand is an obscene price.

Anybody else's experiences?
