DURIAN Taste Test | FRUITY FRUITS

[@echoetj]

I've heard anyone describe it like this... but you could tell me that dirt was delicious and I would want to try it. It's the way you are both respectful and honest when describing any food that you eat that makes me want to try everything you eat.

[@emmymade]

😊

[@michellehasty1038]

Emily Jones The thing I've heard most about durian fruit is how bad it smells. But after watching this video, I actually hope that I'll get to try it someday because the texture looks super interesting and I have to know how it tastes now! Emmy is soooo good at what she does!!!

[@devintran9884]

Emily Jones go to an Asian supermarket, most have them

[@RinaldiSuhardiono]

Emily Jones The Smell is not for everyone, but the custardy sweet taste like heaven for some people...

[@doantran2415]

Emily Jones honestly I see everybody eating it room temperature, ever since I first ate it, my mom always froze every single piece , wrap it in Saran wrap and we'll it frozen. Because I always eat it frozen the smell isn't bad at all. Also, I noticed that some pieces are really good and some do taste a little weird. So depending how you eat it, and which piece you take, your experience can be great or really awful ahhahaha

[@Jess-_-meh]

I love how respectful you are. Yeah it's supposed to be a pungent odor but it's still part of someone's culture.

[@Jess-_-meh]

I'm not sure the correlation of hot dogs to durian but I do know that some of the states have laws against certain animal scraps being used for food production. Also there are many companies that make hot dogs without using the bone/beaks or other weird bits some might find less than edible. Though in some places it is quite common to consume chicken feet. Legally the companies making and selling these hot dogs are required to list the ingredients but a safe bet is to just not go for the cheap ones. Though, again, I'm not sure what hot dogs have to do with durian.

[@Starchild91]

I've noticed the same thing, and I really like it. It's so nice to see that even if it was something she didn't particularly like, she still treats it with respect and word it in a nice way, because like you said, it *is* a part of someone's culture and maybe many of her viewers have very fond memories of that item she is talking about. It's nice to see a KZbinr not swear and throw an item across the room just because it wasn't their cup of tea.

[@pastaorsalad9906]

I've fell in love with Durian. I think it magically chooses whom gets the pleasure of enjoying it. I've never smelled a stinky one. Then it taste like a super sweet custard of I cant explain. Better than my favorite fruit, apricot and persimmon.

[@starlightabuteen8478]

pasta or salad ikrrrrr its really goodddd!!

[@paraboo8994]

That's the best explanation so far. The durian decides if you are worthy of its custardy goodness or if it'll make you chuck your cookies 😂

I know right? My mouth waters when I smell durian, I don’t smell anything bad.

[@nightmarexd5623]

I thought i was wierd. But i also never smelt the bad odor other smells.

[@ElizaDolittle]

I love Durian actually. To me it tasted like vanilla-ish custard (with an odd under-taste that I couldn't describe). I used to eat if for dessert.

[@emilygracey]

Exactly! Vanilla custard with carmelized onions. At least to me.

[@theodosiusanderson1383]

To me it's like banana creme brule

I know a couple of Cambodian girls who love it.

[@josephwright5140]

[@moxiecooper]

When I was a child growing up in Brunei, I tasted Durian. The exterior look of green giant spikes and the hefty weight was so intriguing to me, I had to watch my parents every move when handling it. Once my parents started to cut into it and opened the fruit up, I thought the smell contained so much fragrance that I could not wait to eat it. I was handed a piece of the creamy soft fruit in my hands I quickly bit into it. The taste was something extraordinary. I thought this was the best fruit I have ever tasted bar-none. Now I am living in Canada, Durian is hard to come by and very expensive to purchase when in season. It is especially more expensive when purchasing fresh and not frozen durian. Of course, the taste is not the same as when purchased directly from the market in the tropics. I cannot wait to visit Brunei again during Durian season. One day I shall return...

[@shaunapurcell9436]

You described your experience eating it like an author. Wow.

[@lilith3917]

Oh that's nice to hear bcs I'm from Brunei too hahah

[@rickssevilla4845]

Me too. I liked the fragrance of durian ang the taste feels like heaven haha 😂 I mean the fresh one from the tree ..

[@SnivyDoll]

I love Durian, idk if it's just me but it smells alright.

[@stacyfrederick9183]

You are right in a way. The distinct odor that a lot of people find objectionable; is only apparent in its raw state. Try cooking it & it all goes away. If combined with jaggery, the coconut sugar & made into a thick sauce & served over sweet sticky rice; it then becomes a dessert. I wonder if the edible pulp is available separate in an Asian market either frozen, fresh, dried or cooked & canned? Just a thought. It certainly would be more convenient & a lot less work.

[@khangchau9665]

Fermented-like smell food usually takes 2-3 tries for me, after that I love it, most of the time, same for durian, I hated the smell as a kid but now I would love to have it everyday.

[@oneuniqueusername]

Right? Like I don't understand why people find the smell bad. The smell is DIFFERENT from other fruits. Like soooo different. But it's sooo soo good. MY favourite fruit! My mouth is actually watering thinking about it. LOL gotta go to the asian store! PEACE!

[@jadeuwu9860]

SAME DURIAN IS LOVE DURIAN IS LIFE

[@VIsTheMusic]

Awesome comment. I was born in Saigon. They do have a smell. You must consume the fruit asap and dispose of the remnants asap properly. It will stink up the fridge and house easily. But the sweetness, the complex flavors and textures, and especially it's custardness, is what makes me constantly crave it. 😋 Those who say it stinks, don't know how to pick the right ones or they got one that's starting to over ripen near rotting stage. They don't know how to store it too. It's a fruit that needs to be consumed in one sitting.

[@tnapeepeelu]

Same! I am a child still though (lol) and found those videos early. Love durian! 🍈

[@redit5332]

If the Durian fruit is smelly, it is over ripe. Durian is NOT, I repeat, not smelly or foul. It is one of the national fruits of Thiland. ;)

[@keffinsg]

Thats because Thai people dont know the right way of eating durians. You gotta wait till it is fully ripe and falls off the tree. Not cut it off and eat it while it is crunchy. Now the Malaysians, they know how to eat durian the right way.

[@yotakayotaka]

Thai don’t like to eat it the way Malaysian do. That’s all. Every one has different preferences.

[@brandonspencer309]

Very interesting!!! This thread sort of connects one I just read saying that "if you overeat {fill up on nothing but} durian you can get drunk". This must have to do with eating really ripe or too some overripe durian, makes sense too me! :-)

[@Kazeshini6]

It smells horrible that's all I smelled

[@FailmouseBall]

I'm thai i love ripe durain but not too much because there will be a chance that it will taste a little bitter and very mushy but for the smell it's pretty normal for durain to have a smell hehe sorry for my bad english

The armor on that thing basically is saying "don't eat me" 😂

In the jungles of southeast Asia, tigers are known to eat Durian. They have sharp claws to tear up the heavy durian armor

[@10thMorales]

Its fruit-bearing trees have catchnets below coz falling fruits can kill.💀

[@blissfuldw]

The taste and smell also depends on what kind of durian you get. There are 20+ varieties. Some are sweeter than others, some are more oniony, some are more sulfur like.

[@MrRyans35]

See this intrigues me. Mine was more Oniony/Sulfur... I tasted absolutely no sweet. This encourages me to try it again.

[@Rinsuki]

Sadly most of what you find isn't good. Imported tropical fruit isn't really that great. I grew up in vietnam and last visit things aren't as they used to be. Shame really with all the pesticides and people destroying really old fruit trees. Top favorites would be longan, jackfruit, rambutan, wax apple, and sugar apples.

[@nickmoretti4568]

Bliss what's the difference between jack fruit and durian? They look the same. But they're not I understand. Are they completely different?

[@blissfuldw]

Nick Moretti The only similarities that Durian and Jackfruit have are outward appearances. They're not even from the same family of fruits. Jackfruit has a bubble gum taste.

[@mohdaiman1612]

I would prefer musang king.. its so juicyyy

[@atwfnj]

I've tasted durian candy and icecream. To me, it's like a sweet, onion-y mango. Really interesting flavor combination that kept me intrigued enough to keep eating. Would try it again given the chance, it's been years since I tasted it.

[@C_Tizzle]

I appreciate your Hemmingway'esque description of your personal take on the flavor. I've always been curious, but haven't had the opportunity to try it yet. With yours and Emmy's explanations combined, I feel like I'm that much closer to the experience of tasting it. I love every custard that crosses my path, which makes the durian that much more intriguing to me. It's on my list of 'must try's, for sure :)

[@tnapeepeelu]

True, I think the ones I eat are more melon-like and definitely has a mild vanilla and maybe avocado taste? Lol :-D

[@stephaniejohnson453]

"It's not really my favorite" 😂😂 Emmy is always so nice about the foods she tries lol most people would just say it's gross

[@PoesRaven1984]

I bought my first durian a couple of weeks ago! they must be in season. my local Vietnamese/Asian grocer had them in the freezer section. we got lucky and they were only about $3 per pound. I didn't have high hopes as I don't like overly sweet foods, mushy foods, or foods that are a mix of savory and sweet, but I simply couldn't pass up the opportunity to try such an infamous food. I agree, sulfurous is probably the best description. to me it was more like overcooked cabbage than cheese, coupled with burning tires. I was pleasantly surprised, though, when I actually tasted it. right there with you, very rich and custard like on the inside with that slightly sulfurous onion/garlic aftertaste. my verdict: if you can find it and you like strange foods, definitely try it at least once. Emmy, I'm with you, it's certainly not my favorite food but it was quite good and I'm glad I gave it a try!!

[@yckieh568]

Durian actually doesn't smell that bad. It's just very strong smelling that's why people find it offensive.

Guys. Please Stop eating Durian when you're getting dizzy or you may called "drunk" It's not alcohol it's you're body getting overheated because of excessive amount suger & fat intakes. You can DIE. & NEVER eat it with alcohol. You will die. Durians are by far one of the least healthy fruits out there

[@bioroid09]

The frozen ones don't taste as good as the fresh durians. But the fresh unfrozen durians are much more expensive. The last time I looked the 99 Ranch Market was selling fresh unfrozen for close to $3-4 a pound while tfrozen durian was close to $1-2 a pound.

[@heatherw.7731]

Hylian Hero Link Seriously! Laying-Lying they both can be used in that comment but being from the south it is more common to use laying rather than lying. :)

[@andioop6686]

Heather W. HA! You can't use them both as you please, they don't mean the same thing. Lie means to recline and to rest, while lay means to put down. They both have different endings too. When lie is used in the past tense, it turns to lay (yes it gets confusing); and when it is used in the past participle, it is lain. Now when lay is used in the past tense and past participle it is laid. In the post, it says "looks like an iguana laying". This sentence, either way would have the incorrect from because the word "laying" is neither the past form of lie (because it has an "ing" ending) and it is not the base form of lie because the text is not referring to the iguana being placed into the thing. I know this is very picky and I clearly understood the original post, but if you are writing something really important you may want to use the correct form.

I tried durian once and the taste wasn't terrible, but I got heart palpitations soon after the fact. I am sulfur sensitive, and I'm guessing that if the fruit has such a strong sulfurous odor, that it contains a LOT of sulfur compounds. Raw onion makes me sick for the same reason as it's very sulfurous.

You are so descriptive in your presentation of the fruits, I have no doubt I'm going to love them.

[@Matt-mj5eb]

Loved this Emmy! It's funny that you mentioned sweet guacamole because in the Philippines, in where I live in, avacados are more often found here with some ice, sugar, and milk. We like it sweet. That's probably why Durian is also a popular snack here and in Southeast Asia. I personally don't care much for it since I find the texture to be very weird and overly mushy.

[@detroit7543]

There is a lot of durian varieties. Some are less smelly and sweeter, some has slight alcoholic bitter sweet taste to it. Thailand's durians are know for their plump flesh, but i don't think they are the best. You should visit Malaysia and try the durian stall in there. Ask for the best one :)

When I ate this in Singapore, I had to sit in an isolated area outdoors. Durian is banned from hotel rooms in Singapore. The smell is off-putting but the taste and texture is amazing!

I just Googled it and it looks like the kind of thing I would watch, it was even hosted by Stephen Fry. I will sure give it a try.

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

So interesting that you felt onion or garlic related taste on it. To me it's just very sweet, creamy and lightly fruity. Like an ice cream.

[@spiceweasle3945]

I tried durian a few years ago, I just had to after hearing the horror stories about it. Didn't think it was anywhere as bad smelling as people made it out to be, the smell just reminded me of a musty onion that had just passed its best. Taste wasn't bad either, there was that oniony taste but also nice and sweet, a very unusual fruit. It made me burp something terrible though, haha. I didn't mind the taste of durian at all, but it's not something I'd go out of my way to have it again. Love your videos!!!!

That smell is exactly like rotten onions, but the taste and texture are so wonderfully good, it's worth the odor.

[@abrahamdoucette]

there is no odor! it smells good!

[@hognosecobra6005]

@@abrahamdoucette not for everyone...

[@abrahamdoucette]

@@hognosecobra6005 it's a smell that some people find unpleasant. i don't think it should be considered an odor.

I LOVE DURIANNNNN

[@aisyahrahmafadilla6833]

ILikeToDoStuff Saaame😍 finaly someone loves durian just like me😄

[@rommelmondilla9838]

ILikeToDoStuff we love it! From the city of durian, Davao City, Philippines

[@rowel_patdu6551]

These are some of the fruits that I want you to try please! BAYABAS- Guava DUHAT- Java plum MABOLO- Velvet apple MAKOPA- Wax apple PAPAYA LANZONES SINIGUELAS- Spanish plum SANTOL- Cotton fruit Calamansi- preferably for a lemonade ARATILES These are all famous fruits in the Philippines! Most of them are scrumptious! I hope you can find them there! Thank you Emy!

[@christiejackson7191]

I could listen to you all day... The way you're able to describe all senses of what you're trying makes me feel like I'm right next to you holding and trying everything with you.

[@jordenorange1704]

Your Durian isn't ripe! It should not be green at all. The best Durian I've had (and I've had a lot) is the one that you buy green and allow to ripen on the counter or outside until they are brown and little splits form.

[@peachymanaangel]

JordenOrange does it enhance the sweet taste or the cheesy oniony taste?

[@EddieGooch]

There are dozen varieties of durian. Many of them ripe while the shell is still green.

[@khadijahruslan7335]

Durians ripen when they fall off the tree on their own. Her durian is very much ripe otherwise it yould be too hard to eat and the texture it leaves on your tongue is like that of an unripe banana

[@cbujik]

Not necessarily. From the texture inside it's actually already ripe. Most durians sold especially to Europe or USA would have been plucked out of the trees when they are way too unripe to avoid the strong smell in transit and keep their shelf life longer. The best durians are those that you buy from the orchards. The best variety is from Malaysia the musang king. This one is monthong variety from Thailand.

[@vikivera]

The pit inside is brown, and the flesh is already separated from the pit. I consider this as a ripe durian..... That level of ripeness you love, I (and probably a lot of thais) would find that a rotten durian. But it depends on what kind of durian anyway.....

[@MsDreamcakes]

Yayyyyyy you finally found a durian! I would love to find one to try someday because it's so different than anything I could imagine tasting. What will you do with the left over Emmy? I'm sure you won't let it go to waste, did your husband and kids try it? If so what did they think of it? =}

[@emmymade]

My husband pretty much shares my opinion, and while I offered it to the boys they decided to pass. 😂 I gave the rest of the fruit to a friend who LOVES it, so nothing went to waste.

[@tonietteh2015]

The spiky surface and the smell is nature's way of saying " don't eat me" So of course, people are going to eat it 😂

[@theywalkinguptoyouand4060]

No the spikes protect the seeds and the strong smell attracts animals to eat and spread it. Stop spouting half baked ignorance.

[@MorganBF1]

proudblackjynx that was unnecessarily abrasive. You can correct her without being pretentious.

[@natwest1971]

I love your videos! You are so pleasant and you do such a good job describing flavors. My son and I always check the grocery store for unusual fruits that we’ve never tried before.

[@jeremiahjohnson2741]

absolutely delicious! And smells wonderful too! I honestly would love to make in into a perfume. I always think people fear it's consistency more than it's smell. It takes too long to make custard, with the durian, all you have to do is open and eat!

[@koikoi7637]

Growing up I never understood the hate durian received! I would occasionally get durian boba smoothies :)

[@tylerratt]

I actually like the smell and taste of durian... Westerners with their cheese... XD

[@jaredsmithdgs]

I can totally see why cheese would be gross to someone who wasn't used to it. My mom once made the mistake of feeding a very cheesy lasagna to a group of Chinese exchange students. I don't think they liked it.

[@shenaski5025]

I love your videos they always make my day and you look like my aunt. My aunt has short hair like yours. She kinda looks like you.

[@Darwinsmom]

Now THAT"S what I was looking for! Ever since I played Super Mario Sunshine and learned about this stankalicious fruit I have been curious about the taste and texture, but all I ever found were commentaries about the odoriferous quality. You ROCK!

[@imanbamadhaj8367]

Hey emmy just a tip, since I'm a Durian lover 😂 the fruit is considered to be very heaty so what we do (believe) is that we fill the cavity of the wedged skin with water to avoid getting sick (?) Yeah smthg like that

[@hannahhuynh4136]

I freaking love durian. I love the smell too.😍

At least it wasn't surströmming.

[@Cheoneunnie]

There is no in between for durian: you either love or hate it. I, for one, love it :')

[@arvedsin]

You describe everything with such a respect, knowing that it's something food or part of their culture and don't want to hurt them. That is why I love Japanese people! Beautiful, amazing, smart,cute and so respectful!

[@Keepingitrealwithtyra]

U give the best descriptions of everything that you taste. I love it!!

HOLY I'VE NEVER BEEN THAT EARLY

[@mbtmusic7231]

Ah durian. Congratulations, your house now smells of death and sadness. 😂

[@gozu9455]

you are aware that there are people whos crazy about this badboi fruit right ? i dont mind bombing my house with the smell.

[@caramelcottoncandy7601]

Luna Serena Oh because someone loves Durian, it means he or she has a broken Nose. Okay, Get it.

[@ariskaraihan3965]

i don't really understand why there are TONS of people who hate this fruit! this fruit is awesome, definitely one of my top 3 fave fruits. and smells of death and sadness? man it's unicorn and sunshine for me lol

[@HongKongPhooey89]

It's pretty sad that something that looks like banana pudding on the inside is so unappetizing.

[@Chefsparkles]

Lmao!!! Yes!

[@ashton3746]

Man I've watched too much dr pimple popper but when you were cutting into the durian it reminded me of when dr pimple popper cuts a cyst open 😂🤢

[@Iorekbyrnison100]

The Durian we get get here in Southwest China is definitely the stinky variety, but I love it. It also makes for a really good ice cream, pancakes, drinks and I usually have a few pieces of Durian candy floating around in my bag. I always tell people Durian tastes a bit like every fruit ever, laced with onions and ends with a slight taste of ammonia. If it would just "END," before the ammonia part, most people would enjoy it, I think. Love your videos Emmy!!

[@meganblasco2]

Perfect* description. I just wish there was a durian hybrid that kept everything about it but the oniony flavor. The texture is incredible.

[@Seabacon346]

It's about time you did Durian!

[@bellybutton3806]

"It's not...disgusting". So, I guess that's the most praise this fruit ever gets.

[@Tsk-r4l]

I love it- it is an acquired taste

[@anyag5913]

Last time I was this early Emmy only had 3 Germany videos

[@emmymade]

😂😂😂

[@topanga26]

This was a great detailed explanation of durian. I’m intrigued and have been trying to find someone to really explain the flavor and texture! Can’t believe how expensive it is though!!

[@itsmenanthinny5227]

Just the smell from the roadside stall is enough to make my mouth drool...Malaysia has tons of durian. Like winter, fall ,summer , spring...we have our own...durian season

[@misstaliea]

Emmy: Not my favorite thing. Also Emmy: **keeps eating**

[@Baby-ym1vf]

Are you gonna plant the seeds in your back yard?

[@benpayne2836]

Baby too cold there

[@TheMuddyBunny]

Baby it's cold out outside. (I couldn't resist)

[@professorm4171]

You can make a curry out of it if you don't enjoy it on its own.

[@frauchen9864]

My most favourite fruit in the whole wide world! My grandparents had an orchard full of durian trees. They even built a small hut in the middle of it. This fruit fall off the tree when they ripe. So if they fell at night, you’ll never get any fruits left in the morning cause people steal them. During the season we’d sleep in the orchard to guard our fruits. Sweet memories!

[@vayboualy377]

I grew up despising this fruit. The smell alone would start a gagging reaction. But one day while traveling to the Philippines I’ve decided to try again since I really love fruits. As It turns out I started to understand it. It’s like a key just unlocked and then It shot up the charts as one of my favorite things to eat. I came home from my trip and spending hundreds buying it in the States because I miss it. Honestly, like stinky good cheese or thick ale, it doesn’t present itself to make you like it. It’s like a puzzle and once it’s solved you’ll understand.

[@sherikalockhart3020]

I LOVE Durian!!! It’s the King of Fruits here in Davao City, Philippines 🇵🇭!!! My favorite variety is Puyat!! So good!!! 😍😍

you can try the Arancillo and Malaysian Native varities too :)

DURIAN! Trully the king of fruits. I love its smell tho

[@knotsnchains6907]

I love when people can set aside their opinion and enjoy something for what it is... many things are like this... bulldogs and other drool makers...ewe... canned fish, smells grosse but tastes interesting and sometimes amazing... and this fruit, cheesy and oniony but sweet and delisious! now I want to try it...

When you open that duriam, i can smell it from here 😂😂

[@VIsTheMusic]

It's my favorite, I grew up on it. But now living on my own. Being the only one who loves it. It's too expensive. The king of fruit. Yum. Thanks for the awesome content.

[@henalila4957]

I love Durian! And it's one of my favorite fruits, especially if you put it in the fridge after opening it and when it's cold it's almost like an Ice cream.

durian taste very delicious...because im asian!!!!

I thought this was jackfruit an I were trying it again but the i read lol

🤣OMG I LOVE THE SMELL AND TASTE OF DURIAN YUM 🤤🤤🤤

[@ktlynsll]

The way you describe durian makes me feel like I'm also tasting it. Great job!

[@rubiks6]

30 seconds into the video, I have paused and will tell of my durian eating experience. Then I will watch the rest of the video a see if I have any new thoughts. First of all, the texture is wonderful. It's one of those sort-of melt-in-your-mouth kinds of textures. It had a really, really high sugar content. Very sweet. I could tell that someone who had an acquired taste for durian could really love it. As for me - it stunk to high Heaven. I had to force myself two put two bites in my mouth, chew thoroughly and swallow. I really wanted to give it an honest attempt. I did give it an honest attempt. It was awful but I understand in principle how some people could like it. Back to the video. Okay. Emmy described it pretty much as I did but she was a bit kinder to the taste. I'm really glad you enjoyed that, Emmy. I just can't do that again. Checked it off my bucket list. Gotta move on. Cheers :)

[@omarrais4]

I tried Durian ice cream once in Thailand. it was so bad that I thought I was eating puke... Good video though Emmy !
