Destinking Durian

Yes, I got interested in all the fascinating word descriptions for the smell of Durian on the net, and made a short list. Didn't make me want to try the fruit, but I did just order some Durian juice today which has the smell removed.

• garlic steeped in jet fuel
• turpentine and onions, garnished with a unwashed gym socks
• French custard passed through a sewer pipe
• rotten onions with limburger cheese and low-tide seaweed
• a city dump on a hot summer day, and
• carrion in custard

Durian does have a lot of health benefits, including increasing trypophan levels which is supposed to help with anxiety, depression and insomnia, or simply as a mood enhancer if that is all that is needed.
