Horrifying Foods

[DrNow]

Does durian candy taste the same as the fruit? It didn’t taste remotely edible. Just a yellow block that smelt and tasted like sewage. There was nowhere I could place it in terms of taste, nothing about it suggested food.

Definitely yes, but it doesn't matter because they both taste like sweaty garbage. The main advantage of durian candies over the fruit itself is that they won't fill your house with perpetual miasma. The fruit's stink can linger for at least 6 months, if you make the mistake of putting one of those in your fridge then you might as well just get a new one because the odor will ruin all of your food regardless of how airtight the packaging might be. This fruit will go to physics defying lengths to make you suffer.

Any experience with where durian essence falls on the miasma scale? I've had ideas not related to cooking involving that and was wondering if it's just as rank and long lasting as the real thing.

Idk, the essence probably smells just as bad but I imagine it doesn't last as long by itself because the fruit tissue is a medium that holds the stench juice and releases it over time as it dries out/breaks down. It's like an air freshener but the complete opposite.

I have zero experience with durian but I have a question. What would be worse as an anti air freshener in your mind over a 3 month period: hanging a durian in the window in front of the sun or hanging a tube sock with a solid turd in the window directly in the sun? I've heard a lot about the fruit, just trying to figure out the extremes of the smell.

This should count as self-harm.

It's like the reverse autism food: offensive flavour combination, offensive texture combination, mostly unprocessed, looks like a rotten placenta with diarrhea and frog eggs.

All for a plant-based pb&j... SOMETHING ALREADY NATURALLY VEGAN.
Made by a privileged westerner rather than someone making horrible food out of desperation.

This is an insult to PB&J and kale.

My expertise on the subject doesn't reach this far, this might be an expirement for you to conduct yourself.

Years ago someone told me that a Chinese woman recommended to her that if you hated someone you could throw a durian on their roof. A bad smell would emanate from the house but no one would know why.

Solid turd would dry out over time, so I'd say a durian is probably worse.
