In the spirit of investigation, my mum bought me some 'durian cake' from London. It's 88% Durian fruit flesh pureed with 12% sugar. Basically a tube of durian fruit paste.
It didn't smell much; i'd kept it chilled, and it had a very faint apple-ish scent overlaid with something I couldn't identify. It tasted... really, really quite rancid. Like fetid old Camembert. I chewed determinedly for a while to see if it improved at all. I then gagged and spat it down the toilet and hastily brushed my teeth wailing, "Oh god, oh god, that is DISGUSTING!"
I'm willing to admit that maybe it wasn't good quality or very fresh which might have affected the flavor, but I don't think I'll be trying it again. Blech...
