I want to know about durian fruit.  It has been described as the most foul-smelling fruit in the entire world yet some people like it very much.

Oh, you’re talking about the durian fruit, that’s a popular fruit in Southeast Asia. It does have a very distinctive odor, but people who like it say it’s good because it’s spicy and sour and creamy, not because of the smell.

When I visited Indonesia, many hotels had a special written rule.  Guests could not bring durians to their rooms.

That sounds very unusual, and I don’t have any info on it.  But I can tell you that durian fruit is sometimes served in hotels and restaurants because it is a popular tourist attraction.

I guess it is not worse than some of the stinky cheese that westerners like.
user
That’s true, stinky cheese is often regarded as a delicacy.

I do not think I will ever try to eat durian fruit.
