Alcohol (from beverages) Is Toxic

But as for the durian haters on this forum... you just haven't seen the light.

Not interested in a light that smells like that. I have tasted it several times in different countries but it was always a bad experience in my book. I think the burps were worse than the initial consumption.

because of the very distinctive aroma.

I don't think aroma is the appropriate word...
"stink" would be more suitable !

I didn't realize this forum had so many delicate and sensitive members.

I had to look that one up. According to google, "Some describe it as smelling like stale urine, a farmyard before cleaning, or even "poo sausage".

That's because it is made from the lower intestines. Which contain Bile. It's a strong smell, that some people like, and others don't like. I read that if you clean the parts really well, you can remove the strong smell. And by the Way, some people love Durian! I watched a video of People buying fermented Durian paste in Thailand, and they loved it? I heard there are Cheeses from Europe that are the same. Some say they really stink, and Others love it!

I must admit that andouillette is a bit special.
Nevertheless it is very popular with nearly all French.
Personally I don't like it.

No way this sh*t durian even enters my house.

It’s interesting how many French people will express extreme disgust with durian while eating powerful smelly cheese. Both can be good .

Good one !
Tradition probably. We eat since very young, same as Thais will eat durian.
But note that neither my ex Thai wife or my 3 kids ever ate it.
