Take A Bite Of The Wild Side

In this reel, we get adventurous with our snacking. We travel to Malaysia to get a waft of the sweet stench of durian, trade Cracker Jacks for a cup of toasted grasshoppers at a Seattle Mariners game, and get a taste of the Philippines’ delectable woodworms.

Sweet flavour of durian is my favourite but idk how to know if they are sweet or bitter by looking at them so i just anyhow pick and 70% of the time i get the bitter taste 30% of the time i got sweet

[@tensai1shounen8]

You smell the durian and tap it with knive to know how ripe it is. Know this from seeing durian vendors doing them when picking good ones to sell.

[@mayanotopsleep]

You should go to North Sumatra, the durians there are always sweet. My mom came from there and she said the durians in Jakarta are awful thus she never eat it.

[@khunpingpong]

Many countries love fully ripe durian...Yes! some ripe durian give you bitter taste. I am from Thailand. We eat almost ripe durian with more firm texture. But you have to know when to cut it open coz, its all about expertise! Fully ripe durian smell really bad if you ask many Thais.

[@darkfent]

Depends on the types of Durian. Hybrid/clone ones taste the same along the line, while village trees usually have multiple taste of Durian from a single tree.

And I respect that she always starts of with good quality fresh vegetables for her brine! I normally see something that looks or sounds gross to me- and my mind thinks that's all it is- gross- in every way. But! Nope, I am wrong! This, and I'm sure tons of other products out there, are a labor of love to their creators! She just showed me that. That's why instead of just trying her stinky tofu, I would rather meet and learn from her for as long as she would let me. I feel, all the way over here in Arizona, USA lol- (thank you KZbin!) that she has a lot of wisdom to share with the world. ❤

I love eating durian and it is my third favourite fruit. I started eating it since I was one and I got spiked quite a bit (it was painful back then). I always go to my grandparents' house to eat it and me and my grandmother ate most of it. It was her favourite fruit and she said nothing could change her mind about durian. When I was 11 or 12, my grandmother passed away on a Saturday night and I didn't know. The next day, we were preparing to go out and eat (that is what I thought) but my mom told me she had passed away because the fever was to intense. I was heartbroken and my knees were on the ground. Tears of sadness rolled down my cheeks and my mum hugged me. But, before she died. She wrote a letter and it said this, " Grandson, my time has come and I have to go. Be happy and eat durian atleast once a year to remember me. Love Grandma." I was actually tearing up typing this in.
