So I found some of this stuff at the Asian Market. Durian fruit

Drinks and baking is my guess.

I was kind of wondering about drinks. Maybe they put it in tea or something.

Oh no durian artificial flavour is quite gross and a sub par ingredient for cooking. If you dont like durian to begin with then expect disappointment because its like lemon rind which is mainly used for a flavour kick.

I was wondering if artificial would be less gross or grosser than the natural stuff. Well, I really just want to experience the stuff that can make Andrew Zimmern gag, but I need to decide what to make with it.

It's apparently a love it or hate it fruit. So far I just know that it smells like onions and dead skunk. If nobody has any suggestions I'm leaning towards making ice cream. I'll just do a vanilla recipe and add some of the durian flavor.

It's getting late and I didn't really feel like making gelato, so I said fuck it, I'll just make a milkshake. Milk, ice cream, durian flavoring. Let's see if I can finish this.

Well, I didn't gag that much. It tasted kind of like if someone mixed rotten onion juice in with a milkshake. I've got a pretty bad aftertaste in my mouth. Not as gross as fried pig intestines, but pretty gross. Now I'll just have to wait for the day when I can try the real fruit.

I'm going to suggest artificial durian is probably to throw out. Tropical fruits are as floral as they are flavorful.

I've had durian and it's a poor version of like a cherimoya, which in itself, is entirely skippable. You know what is fun and cool to get from asian markets? pandan

Yeah, I'll be throwing it out. I was just curious about the general taste since a lot of people seem to have difficulty describing the taste. I don't have a lot of difficulty, it tastes like a nasty onion with some sharp/sour notes in it. I might try the real thing some day, but I'm not in any hurry. I'll keep an eye out for pandan, definitely.
