No, thank you.
My parents fed me too much as a kid. XD

Lol, it definitely is a strange food and an acquired taste. I also want to try it at a reputable place. I've seen it for sale at supermarkets, which just sets off alarm bells for me.

Y'know... I really wasn't either for most of my life. But for whatever reason, I started liking it after I came to Japan. Especially when served as sushi/sashimi, it's so fresh that it doesn't have that "fishy" taste at all. But I've grown accustomed to even fishy fish now and eat fish quite a lot since it's usually in my school lunches.
So I guess I'd say give it another shot if you go abroad, since it might surprise you.

I don't think I can manage to eat that. Sort of like Andrew Zimmerman and walnuts. (or was it pecans?)

@Ferra: Oh gosh. XDDD Lots of bells should be going off. Heck no to that!
And yah. I think the ... comfort of knowing you don't have to eat eat unfamiliar foods if you don't want to (like in your homeland) can hinder being able to acquire the taste for new foods. My tastebuds have gone through some changes so hopefully they continue in that more appeasing way.
@Nim-san: You mean DURIAN!?

Walnuts or pecans...? Both of those are pretty alright tasting so I dunno...

Yeah, I dunno. Maybe it was something else but it definitely said "fugu" right on it. Could be different types?
I'm glad I wasn't forced to eat stuff I hated as a kid, but I'm also very, very glad that I snapped out of it in my late teens so now I can eat practically anything. Even if I don't *love* it, I can usually choke stuff down without complaining. My biggest issue now is that my new school always gives me huge portions for lunch and you're given the stink eye if you don't finish everything.
OOOH! Durian is a flavor that's really hard to describe. I think I actually prefer natto in some ways just because it's meant to be savory and can be eaten with rice. Durian is kind of a rotten sweet taste, reminds me of the smell of soda syrup mixed with popcorn in the dumpsters back when I worked at a theater.  But... I'd probably try eating it again to give it another shot.

@Ferra: Hmm maybe. You should investigate! \ o /
Dang. You can't ask for smaller portions? D: Or just bring it home with you to eat later?
Ewwww.  One of the asian markets here had whole durian in their freezer, and some durian flesh. I wanted to try it.... but at the same time.... yeeeeech.

Huh, interesting. I don't mind nuts even if some of them do kind of taste like dirt. I wonder which one he didn't like.
I had durian inside a dessert pancake when I had it so the flavor was a lot stronger than the smell. I can't say it was delicious, but it wasn't the worst thing I'd ever had. The texture was certainly interesting.

Yeah, it's kind of like really soft avocado, texture-wise. Sorta. 
I tried durian ice cream once. It was a very...odd flavor. It had the taste right, but at the same time it tasted weird.

I know some who found that eating something durian-flavored tasted so horrible that they put off trying the actual thing for years...before finally trying it and loving it. xD;

I'm exaggerating by saying that I'm forced to eat stuff, but people do usually tease you with "mottainai" (don't be wasteful) if they see you've left a lot of food on your plate.
Taking food home isn't really possible for most of it, so I just do my best to pick the plates that are put out with the smallest-looking portions and discretely toss back what I don't want to eat. I'm just not used to it since the staff room at my old school usually had small portions.  My appetite has shrunk.

That could be it. That's part of why I want to try it again someday since I have a feeling that fresh durian on its own would probably taste a little different.

@Nim-san: True, true. P:
@Ferra: Ah. I'd have to just deal with the teasing until they got used to it~ I can put down some food, it just takes a while. And eating more than I want in one sitting is not a habit I desire. Oof.

Some people like it when it's frozen or cold from the refrigerator, but I personally prefer them at room-temperature. :3

Anywho~ I'm super exhausted so I better get some sleep. Night/morning/afternoon all!
