Durian, often revered as the “king of fruits” in Southeast Asia, is a large, tropical fruit distinguished by its formidable, spiky husk. Once you crack open the shell, you’re met with a rich, custard-like flesh that ranges in color from pale yellow to deep gold. The flavor is a complex amalgamation of sweet, savory, and nutty notes, with undertones of caramel, almonds, and even a hint of onion or cheese. The scent is famously pungent and can be overwhelming to those unaccustomed to it, but enthusiasts find the taste to be a rewarding, indulgent experience.
