Someone should have done their research first. Anything that's described as being like eating custard in a public lavatory dosen't sound like fun to me...
I've got a huge pack of Durian flavour biscuits that I purchased in Singapore. They're in my desk drawer and I can smell them from here when it's a hot day :)
Durian absolutely bloody stinks, which is why it's banned from public places in Thailand. Aficionados will look you squarely in the eye and swear blind that it's the most fabulous tasting fruit in the world - something like strawberry custard - but I must admit, although I do get the strawberry notes and everything, it just tastes damned rotten!!
Durian is quite popular in Asia, but it's one of those things that you either absolutely love or absolutely hate. My grandmother is a huge fan of durian, but my mom doesn't care for it at all, and after I tried a bit when I was 5 I'm never touching any again.
And it's not just banned in public places in Thailand, it's also banned on public transport in Singapore since it smells so strong that it'd piss off the passengers otherwise.
I've heard from an Indonesian friend that when Durian is abolutely fresh - no more than a couple of hours after picking or literally straight from the tree - that it's really lovely. She won't touch anything that she hasn't seen picked, basically.
