WTF is durian?

Never heard of it and I love fruits...

Asian pears are nice, Mexican mango's (if you can call them exotic), pineapple (more tropical than exotic), persimmon is nice when really ripe...

And of course how can I forget, THE MACKINAW PEACHES JERRY, THE MACKINAW PEACHES!!!!!

It's like a circus in your mouth... Hahahaha

Rambutan. I used to eat those all the time in Asia. The inside looks kinda like longan/litchi but it takes different.

That green fruit next to the dragon fruit is called "custard apple." Everything I listed I used to eat a lot as a kid. Those are truly "exotic" because you can't really get them here. Most of them are imported. The Caribbean nations usually have those.

Mangosteen is good too.

Mangosteen, so that's what it's called. I tried it at my cousins house a year ago and never knew what it was.

Mangosteen is delicious and difficult to grow here in the states.

Grapple, an apple that tastes like a grape.

It's actually pretty damn good!

Hands down, Mangosteen and Rambutan are my two favorite exotic fruits. I ate a bushel of each per day while in south east asia.

Durian is by far the most disgusting thing to grow on the planet earth. It smells like rotten eggs inside year old sweaty gym socks. Its consistency is reminiscent of mucus. There is absolutely nothing palatable about the Durian. Someone bought Durian cookies while we were on a 3 hour bus ride. After opening the vacuum sealed package, the entire bus erupted and people were gagging. It was double bagged and handed to the first person we saw on the side of the road. I will never forget that day. I will never forgive the durian.
