Selling bad smelling and bad tasting fruit

Durian is definitely an acquired taste, and smell.  One of the times we attempted it (in Cambodia, I think) its smell and taste were just too unpleasant for us.  Our guide and driver were pleased by that, since it meant more durian for them.

Thank you.

_Stuart,

 

_{this stinking fruit is a challenge for us. As far as I know there are special places where it is allowed to sell them. You won't find them everywhere on a Chinese market. This is at least what I noticed.}

Appreciation of the taste is definitely lost somewhere in translation!

Shawn - Thank you.

 

Mark - thank you.  Of course since I wasn't brought up on it I'm no fan of Vegimite.  Perhaps Durian requires similar early life experiences.
