I just grabbed the pic off the net. I heard about the durian from the guy on the travel channel who eats all the strange things. He hated the durian.

I saw that episode on Bizarre Foods. He gagged when he ate the durian.

I’ve seen Andrew Zimmern do his anti-durian schtick in two different episodes of Bizarre Foods (once in Thailand and once in NYC).

He’s a little over the top with all the heaving and gagging, I simply think he’s targeted durian as “the food that’s so disgusting that even I Andrew Zimmern who eats disgusting foods with gusto will not eat it.”

C’mon Andrew, get off it. They sell durian POPSICLES at my local Asian market and they are good and even little kids like them. Durian ice cream as well. Even my siblings who are meat & potatoes types didn’t gag when they tried durian.
