Sorry, but I can't handle Durian....any way, shape, or form. Like oysters, I try again every few years, but I just can't manage to eat the stuff.

Octopus can be good, or nearly tasteless and the texture of what I imagine chewing vulcanized rubber would be like if it is not cooked properly. I have to admit that the visual can be a bit disturbing sometimes too. A favorite Korean grill of mine serves it and what arrives for cooking is sizeable tenacles swimming in a red sauce....not very appetizing unless you know what it will soon taste like.
