..and I am now certain that there is no god. Unless it's an angry god that hates us.

Anyone else eaten this stuff or something else that seems impossible to actually like?

Why anyone would eat something that smells like urine is beyond me.

I didn't think it smelled like urine. More like a cross between baked beans, bananas, dirty feet and crap. I had donkey penis earler today with lunch and that was far more delicious in comparison.

I've been on an adventerous eating kick recently and trying all the most disgusting yet popular foods I can. Been liking insects more than I thought. Crickets are pretty awesome to munch on and I tried a mostly developed, fermented chicken fetus still in the shell but that was fucking gross. Never again.

My wife loves durian, and it is the best selling flavor at the international ice cream place at vendables and clark. I've tried it but have a hard time getting passed the stench.

Now go eat some balut eggs and report back.

Isn't a balut egg a fermented mostly developed bird fetus still in the shell? Bigger bird right?

Yep … very important to pick the eggs at the right time … the bones need to be formed, but not crunchy yet. Popular with the Filipinos.

My sister is living in HK right now. She tried durian finally, she said its not too bad once you get past the horrible smell. That doesn't make sense to me, but whatever. I will most likely try it when I visit, just to say I've done it.

She did say that she could smell it everywhere in HK at a certain time of year and had to find out what it was.

Durian is the most popular flavour at the icecream place? I tried it as a sample and it was terrible. I can't imagine people buying a cone or bowl of that stuff.

Maybe the Asians are down with it, but it was terrible to me.

Vegamite and wasabe are popular too.
