@anna Every single time I see durian posted - I remember when we carried one back home from Vancouver on ferry & city bus. No one sat near us on ferry. Everyone except the bus driver evacuated themselves from the bus. It only took 4 stops for bus to be empty except for our little family & bus driver 🤣✌️
@PhoenixSerenity can’t blame them 😬
@anna It is pretty tasty though! If you can get over the smelly 🤣
@PhoenixSerenity @anna To me, durian tastes as good as it smells "bad" (it smells strong to me, not bad, but I do try to remember most people aren't fans). People who like stinky tofu and pungent cheeses usually can come to appreciate Durian.
@jf_718 @anna Most hotels now have signs: No Durians Allowed Inside Premises.
Apparently the durian smell needs a minimum of 72 hrs to air out.
@PhoenixSerenity @jf_718 buses also have that sign. Some hotels also don’t allow mangosteen, but mine wasn’t difficult about that, thankfully
@anna @jf_718 They didn't have the no durian signs in 80s/early 90s. The no durians allowed inside signs are more common now.
@anna Why no mangosteen? That is weird.
@PhoenixSerenity I’m guessing because the shells may stain?
@jf_718 @anna *Smells like ass* I should try eating it 😂🤣 #DurianEatingLogic
@jf_718 it used to smell really bad to me. Now the smell is still strong, but it doesn’t bother me as much anymore. @PhoenixSerenity
@jf_718 do like cheese. Not into stinky tofu yet, but I was first exposed to it when I had food poisoning, so I guess that’s a lost cause. @PhoenixSerenity
