I've heard that some people don't find the taste or scent of durian disgusting and that there might be a biological reason for that (kind of like the way some people think cilantro tastes like soap and others love it).

I always thought it would be fun to try - and while I'm glad I did, I don't think I'll be in any hurry to eat it again!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16811452871978016615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8324089245990062116.post-79834132774963882162012-06-07T21:58:10.439-05:002012-06-07T21:58:10.439-05:00WOW this is interesting.
