Yes, but as I mention above it’s got to be a staged overreaction.
I know people who don’t like it, but I’ve never seen anyone (except Zimmern) actually GAG on durian. That includes both SE Asians and Westerners in both Asia and here in the States.
I was surprised he gagged on the durian, considering how many disgusting things he’s eaten. I’d try it. Did you see the stinky tofu he ate? Now THAT would make me gag. I’m sure a lot of that is staged.
