Durian season

Wow i love durians too,i love them most when they are frozen really its delicious. My father usually buy durian too when he has money,there are durian candies too. yummy! but for now it is not a durian season, it is the lanzones season to us, there are lots of lanzones on the streets today. weeH!

Durian is a strong smelled fruit but creamy in taste :) are you from davao?

Thnaks for the photo , that fruit is foreign to me . It look similar to Sweet sap in my country . I have never eaten it but I have a lot of favorite fruit such as jack fruit that also have a similar skin to your Durain fruit .

I love durian I had that in china and Thailand that fruit is reall good but other people hate is cuz of the smell I miss durian I wan some of this??

Yup, it's that time of year. Don't be shocked, but I'm allergy to fresh durian. I love them, and the smell is good, but I just can't eat them fresh, or else my throat and mouth will start getting itchy and swollen. So Mom will usually make me durian porridge, or any kind of bean porridge with durian.

I also love durian. It is one of the trademarks of our city here in the Philippines. It's interesting to know that your durian season falls on December. Here, it is usually in August or September. But since there are already a lot of durian growers nowadays, there are already durian available all year round. Just that the prices are different. It is really much cheaper during it's season. It could even go as low as $0.50 per kilo or even at $0.38 from the farms. But if it's not in season, it could go as high as $6.50 per kilo. Davao locals would not buy if it's going high. It's usually the tourists who buy them on off peaks. But it's just good to know that we still have something to offer though it is off season.

I have not tried eating durian. I heard about it a lot since I go to Davao every month. What I have eaten is durian candy and my friends told me that the fruit is really delicious and I should try it later on. Perhaps, I will one day have the chance to do so.

Oh my God, I love DURIAN so much! Well, all of us in the family love this fruit that my father will definitely buy some if he sees one. Other people can't stand the stench smell of Durian, but I do. As I've said, I love Durian and the smell doesn't seem bad for me.

Just by reading your discussion as well as the responses and comments, it made me think of how delicious durian fruit is. I miss it. Durian is now scarce this month. It's already expensive because we can find only a few fruits of durian being sold at fruit stands here in our place. I guess from the month of July till october there were lots of durian fruits and the price was much cheaper.

I am living in one of the Asian countries. I have been eating durian since I was a kid. I had always liked how it taste and I can never have enough of it. That time when I was kid, my dad always buy like fifteen durians back home and open them up and put all the durian fruit into a container. As he finished opening all those durian, all of us would stuck all those durians into our mouth. Sometimes we could not finish them and we would fridge the durians and eat finish them off the next day. I wonder if the western countries does have durian?

I hear about durian from my friend , it has good taste but it has ??? smell , I don't eat it before , because it do not grown here in my country.

I like the candies made of durian. It tastes so sweet and I never tried to eat the freshly pick durian. I hope to taste one if I travel in your place.

Durian is the most yummmmyyyyy fruit. People who tasted Durian can say " It smells like hell but tastes like Heaven" . Won't you agree?

A few months ago at work I was about to leave for the day. All of A sudden, I smelled what I thought was a gas leak. So I called the hospital police. Before they could make it to my department, my coworker came forward and let us know that She had eaten durian at lunch the day before and forgot to bring home the bowl. After that, I told her that I wanted to try it do a few weeks later she brought some it for Lunch and I sampled it. To me it tasted like a mild creamy garlicky onion. I'd love to try it again.

AAAAARGGHH! The dreaded Durian! Can any fruit smell as bad as this one? When I visit Vietnam, my nieces used to tease me with it because they Know I don't like it. I have tried it and have to say, it tastes nothing like it smells like! However, I will give it a miss thanks. Once in Vietnam, my niece asked me to try some ice cream and when I did, she laughed so much because it was Durian Ice cream. I never trusted her again! We see some in the Chinese food shops, here in England but they can stay there too..LOL

I have never had Durian. I don't even know what it looks like. Our local stores in Northern Michigan don't carry these exotic types of fruits. We will sometimes get star fruit or avacdoes, but never Durian. I have heard of Durian, but I have never seen it, touched it or tasted it. I would like to sample different fruits, because I just might like them. I also wonder what Jack fruit would taste like.

Hi friend, good to hear that it is Durian season in your place, here too we have lot of durian fruits and enjoy a lot while eating it. It gives pleasant taste to our tongue and most of us are interested in eating this fruit

Many people (especially western) do not like durian for both, smell and texture. The smell is so strong. Only my younger son like durian, but he is not such a big fan either. The older one and myself do not like it. My husband likes it. It's all different for different people.

Oh! My family's tried this twice before in Canada. We didn't know what to make of it the first time. Isn't this the fruit that has a ban on being opened in public, somewhere? To me, it tastes a bit like a sweet omelette, not bad, but strange and interesting. I'm really curious about tempoyak and the candies now, because we've only been able to find the fruit when we lived in the city. I'll try different recipes with it next time I can find one.

I love love durian! It's so yummy. It's a very unique fruit. So hard & thorny on the outside but soft in the inside. Not everyone likes it though, because of it's awful smell.
