was one of the last fruits on my list of fruits to try whilst in thailand
known as the so called king of fruit, i had been looking forward to trying one for some time. they also have a reputation for being stinky. there are signs on public transport and in buildings banning them due to the stench

i bought a little plate of them for 130 baht, which is a lot considering that most fruits will be like 20 baht for the same amount

HOLY FUCK THEY ARE STINKY
i ate a few pieces and it was good and creamy and interesting but man the putrid stench was so overpowering it made my whole apartment smell like garbage it was absolutely disgusting

like it tastes fine and is definitely a unique flavor and texture but i cannot get past the smell
i had to put it on our balcony and then the next morning i brought it inside and immediately threw it away

I wonder how the first person decided to eat durian.

"Gee this smells like the other food that gets everyone sick. Let's eat it"

I've heard that Juicy Fruit gum's flavor is based on jackfruit

i could see that
it's probably the most unique fruit i've had. the texture really makes it feel like some kind of gelatin candy or something

The mangosteen doesn't even look real wtf

Rose apples look like cashew apples. Are they the same thing?

mangosteen are super small and mushy but they definitely look like that irl. very pretty fruits
and i have no idea but i've definitely heard them referred to as rose apples many times

mangosteen sucks and so does dragonfruit (tastes like kiwi infused water, water with a hint of kiwi)
i wanna try jackfruit maybe ill do it today ive seen them for 6-8$
my favourite ethnic fruit is kiwano melons
they're spikey and i wanted to throw one onto a group of people
the taste is very nice
lemon/pineapple/cucumber gel taste

I think the mangosteen and dragon fruit here is way better. People hate on it in the states a lot but I see no real reason to dislike it
Same with mangosteen I thought they were pretty damn good

yeah i think pomelo is my favorite, followed by jackfruit
pomelo is weird because the seeds look like teeth on the top of the slices (you'll see what i mean) and they kind of come out like teeth
really good though. i've got some in my fridge right now :3
