To me they taste like sweet floral avocados. (And no I'm not being ironic/ sarcastic). I truly adore them and I can't understand what people don't like about them. But then again I find watermelon to be the most repulsive fruit, I can't stand the smell or the taste, ick. The whole Kampot thing is a bit overblown I think. I was once told by a Khmer colleague that Thai people will pay the price of 2 Thai durians for one from Kampot, but I somehow doubt that most Thai people even know where Kampot is. I find the degree of national food pride in Cambodia somewhat incredible...but deeply endearing I love durian. To me they taste like sweet floral avocados. (And no I’m not being ironic/ sarcastic).

I've got a mild obsession with taking photos of hotel signs that warn against bringing durian inside rooms; usually in broken English. FruitPorn?

The creaminess of the flesh...I'm starting to drool just thinking about it. It's definitely not everyone's cup of tea though. Maybe you should start with durian ice cream like my husband did...
