"The pungent smell of the rotten fruit was mistaken for a gas leak at an Australian university and prompted an evacuation of staf and students.
Specialist crews wearing masks searched the library at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology campus on Saturday, but all they found was rotting durian fruit in a cupboard.
Durian is a tropical fruit known for its strong smell. It is commonly banned from hotel rooms and public transport across South East Asia."
Was in Singapore awhile back ... signs posted banning it from buildings
They do have it at Cao Nguyen. It smells like feet and onions.
Lee's Sandwiches also offers it in smoothie form.
I snuck some into our hotel in Thailand and very quickly regretted it! Thankfully they didn't catch it...
Lee's Durian ice cream is delicious, when they have it.
Durian smells awful, looks disgusting and has a texture that is revolting. Surprisingly, if you can get past all that, the fruit is very creamy, not at all what you would expect from it's appearance.
I like durian flavor but I still can't eat the actual fruit.
