Was it good?

    Durian.

    Texture of banana but with a huge seed. Tastes like a strange combination of rotten eggs, whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, diced garlic, onions, cheese, and… caramel?

    It’s fucked. Never again.

      There are lots of varieties of Durian that bring out all those flavors (and possibly more) to various degrees. Supposedly some of them can be good if you acclimate and enjoy funky fruit.

      The small dehydrated piece a friend brought me from Vietnam recently had tasted like if you went to a pizza joint and mixed the little containers of garlic butter and bleu cheese sauce, then added some pineapple and gasoline and a hint of vanilla custard for good measure. It was extremely weird and mostly reminded me of garbage. And for the rest of the day, the smallest burp brought back its vile ghost.

        I’ve only had it once and I don’t know what variety it was, but despite the smell it just tasted kinda like a honeydew. There was no bitterness or anything

    Probably the garlic ice cream in garlic restaurant Balthasar in Tallinn.

    8/10. Would eat again. Sadly it looks like the place closed down, probably during covid-19 :-(

      I had garlic ice cream at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California. Everyone leaving the free sample line had the exact same expression on their face as they tried the first taste:

      Slightly scrunched up have with an expression that said, “I was really expecting this to be horrible but it’s not bad. Not great, but not bad.”
