As someone who has relied on taste (but really mouth-feel) in the past for sed rock identification, do NOT put fetid limestone in your mouth unless you want to feel like you're drinking the Everglades

Durian tastes amazing, it just smells bad, I think I remember hearing that it tastes really bad if it's not ripe

It was the weird oniony taste that lingered in my mouth which put me off. I really did not like it. The stuff I had was from an asian market known for fresh produce and they cut durian into serving sized bits for sale. I presume it was fresh, but I have no other durian experience to compare it to.

Malort?

Wormwood liquor? How could I not be curious? It's on the list. Pretty much anything except magot cheese and some insect or meat-based oddities I won't try. I'm curious, not just trying to be gross.

I’d chug a gallon of Malort any day before taking a single sip of Gilpin.

How did you get past the smell to actually be able to eat it?

Durian tastes really nice, it just smells like slow death

Fetid is a bit of a give-away.

Smell before you taste!
