I found the most bizarre and disgusting fruits known to man. The dorian fruit. Occasionally spelled "durian." It looks like some sort of porcupine alien fetus egg thing. As soon as you cut it open, it emits a strong overpowering puke like stench. The insides look even more bizarre than the outside. Despite the absolutely awful, foul, vomit inducing smell and sub-par appearance, the dorian meat inside has a melon like taste with a custard texture.
common name = dorian
latin name = Durio zibethinus
family = Malvaceae
It is from and commonly grown in southeast Asia, usually by grafting it onto an already develloped root structure. I've included a pdf in case you actually want to learn more. It is sometimes used as an aphrodisiac in Thailand, Malasia, and Japan. It used as a very popular condom flavor. Also used for milkshakes.
I would recommend you stay away from this fruit. Even if you plug your nose after eating it, you get an awful stench/aftertaste. It smells like someone ate a wet dog and puked up the wet dog. and then it makes your whole apartment smell like wet dog and puke and no one will want to be your friend anymore. If you want to try it get a Dorian shake at your local "Quickly" which will be much less offensive than the fruit itself.
Quickly locations in SF:
Taraval and 21st ave
Castro and market
Mission and 24th st.
The fruit itself can be purchased at many asian markets. I went to Clement st.
