I was just in Taiwan, where these are considered a delicacy. I never had the nerve to try any. Then again, I skipped the snake blood cocktails too...so I'm a wimp.

I bought some Durian and triple bagged so I could kep it my little refrigerator at the Hilton in Singapore. The rooftop restaurant was glad to prepare it for me. I would never have dared to take it to an interior restaurant. It is truly a delicacy. It does not taste anything like it smells. I would say it is delicious. My associates could not bear the smell and complained so much I had to ask the waiter to take it back to the kitchen. I am sure the kitchen help devoured it.
