The worse tasting candy EVER!

[ehque]

The question is, how close did the durian candy come to the actual taste of real durian?

It doesn't.

Trust me, I'm Singaporean. Durian is our national fruit. Durian candy is also available here, but I don't really like it.

This thread makes me laugh.

By the way, if you can get around the smell of durian, it doesn't really taste like how it smells. It certainly is worth a try, if you can get a hold of it. Oh one more thing: Generally, the yellower the flesh, the more pungent the smell and stronger the taste. The Thais up north favour nearly-white varieties, which can be quite mild and sweet, but come south to Singapore and try those so-yellow-they-are-nearly-orange types. They taste very sweet, a little bitter, and almost alcoholic.

Drinking licorice with a deer? Can't say I've tried that.

Baalro gave you a pretty good hint

I haven't had Jagermeister in 14 years- I thought it tasted more like liquorfied Big Red, but I guess I was wrong

I really want to try this fruit.

I'd love to get some durian bodywash and toothpaste. I'd think I'd be a hit with the ladies.

If by "ladies," you mean wild boars, then yes, yes you would.

I thought this thread was going to be about white "chocolate".

Hey ehque, do folks eat this fruit with other things or just by itself?

 

[MEKer]

I wonder how the essence of durian would do as a bathroom air freshener for gas stations or even..heck yeah, why not?...the home?



PS: Hmmm, I wonder if it would do well as an ointment for jock itch? Just a thought.

People would just think you haven't showered in a loooooooong time.

I was at an asian grocery store a few weeks ago, and my girlfriend and I were just kinda standing there going "What's that smell?" Mind you this is in one of those asian grocery stores where everything smells weird. And there were the durians, overpowering all stenches that stood in their way.

I thought it smelled like a mix of rotten fruit and ass sweat.

In Singapore and Malaysia, generally by itself. The smell and taste will overpower everything else you are eating. It sounds like a good beer food, but then local folklore - and some recent scientific studies - suggest that mixing the two has some really nasty consequences, so generally the locals don't try.

A few days ago I had my youngest son Joe try it. He had it in his mouth for a whole 15 seconds before he spit it out! He told me that this is what death must taste like, and I told him that if that's the case then I'm in absolutely no hurry to find out!

I just ate the worst tasting piece of candy......Dutch Licorice Double Salt Triangles....Soft and Salty. emphasis on the salty. :scowl:. There was a bag of it at work so I tried one, and the first thing I thought of was this has got to be gag candy or pull a prank on someone candy....terrible.

 

[MatticusMania]

^ That doesnt even sound like candy...

 

[dwm74]

Anyone ever had Necco Wafers? They taste like Tums...yuck

Also, don't know if this qualifies as candy but...anyone remember those classic gum flavors? Like Beemans, Clove, Blackjack etc...

LOL, when I read the thread topic that was the first thing that came to mind...Necco Wafers. My dad loved those things, but I always thought they resembled flavored chalk.
