| Durian for sale in Kep City |
It's nearly impossible to describe the experience of eating durian, since there is really nothing else quite like it. The flesh has a custard-like flavor with a bit of sourness and a texture that reminds me of papier maché. It's 'aroma' gets most of the disdain, with comparisons to gym socks and rotten eggs. According to the guidebooks, Cambodians love the smell and are known to place skins underneath their beds. I'm skeptical...
