I'm a decent enough cook and enjoy it, but I'm not especially sophisticated in the kitchen. I make a damn good spaghetti sauce, if I may say so. I think the best two dishes I ever cooked but could not reproduce since I was winging it rather than following a recipe were (1) pheasant with a plum sauce gravy and (2) a cream seafood stew.
In her mind, my wife is a foodie despite spending relatively little time in the kitchen, though she is actually a good cook. She spends hours watching cooking programs, is ultra choosy (read: big pain in the ass) when we shop for groceries together, and has strong, largely unsolicited opinions about every restaurant we've eaten at and how they compare with the restaurants she haunted in earlier years spent in New York, Chicago, and L.A.
Spoiler alert: Turns out Baton Rouge doesn't have restaurants that match up. Big fucking surprise.
Does anyone have experience with the Durian? I stare at them, fascinated, every time I go to the Asian market but wouldn't know what to do with one if I brought it home. I'm also a bit nervous about trying it, given all I've heard about the odor. I'm trying to wrap my head around how something can be said to have such an unpleasant odor but still be considered the 'king of fruit'?
Is its flavor comparable to anything else, or is it one of those 'you just have to try it to understand' things?
