Hate to judge what other people eat, but I couldn't understand how they were eating something w/ such vile stench. Luckily, it was only a hour flight.
Have you ever seen the show on Travel channel called "Bizarre Foods?" this guy goes around the country/world sampling some pretty crazy stuff (jellied moose snout in alaska; fresh pig intestine in NO; a variety of creepy crawlies everywhere; etc). on one episode, he tried durian. given the fact that this guy could keep down sheep testicles and tarantula, i was surprised that he could not take a second bite of durian. claimed it was just about the foulest thing he'd ever eaten. on a recent episode (NYC), he again tried durian and again failed to keep down more than one bite.
never had it, but have seen it in asian groceries. after having watched that show, i doubt i will ever try it.
