There is a fruit that Vietnamese and Cambodian veggie stores sell that is yellow, about the size of a football. I forget the name of it but when you cut it open it smells like rotten meat but tastes like a slice of pure heaven.

This sounds like the Durian that was mentioned earlier in this thread. I'll definitely checked the Vietnamese stores for this item.

A durian lookes like a green footbal with spikes all over it. It has that nasty-tangy ginseng-like smell.

Never tasted it fresh, but I have some wafer cookies made from it and they are so-so...
