But it's surprisingly delicious. After visiting a Vietnamese village to discuss altering their defenses to open more land to rice cultivation, they offered me some durian. Like the video says, it stinks. But then, so does limburger cheese (which I also find delicious when I can find it). The villagers waited for my reaction when I tasted it and cheered when I liked it. My translator told me it was a great honor to be offered the fruit inasmuch as it sold for a very high price in the markets of Saigon. BTW, it tasted to me like fried onions...
