    Durians, with their super tough rind covered in super sharp spikes and their overwhelming stench, are basically screaming "Don't eat us! Nothing remotely edible here". But SE Asians are like "Nope haha".

    • @exeuroweenie
      @exeuroweenie Před 4 lety +9

      SE Asians are in on something.Durian looks like a grenade/weapon.To me it looks and smells like creamy,slightly sweet onion/garlic sauce.I love to watch other Caucasians stare in horror as I enjoy it.

      @luvarga Před 5 lety +25

      Insects tend to rot really fast after they die and their larvae are almost impossible to kill quickly. If you chopped them in half they’d still move. But maybe something to ease your worries, their nervous system isn’t advanced enough to feel pain so they don’t suffer even when fried alive.

    I tried durian for the first time during my trip to China, it didn’t stink, it smelt like fruit markets, I honestly don’t understand how people find it stinky. The flesh had the texture and flavour of custard. It was amazing

      That's a pretty common misconception there. But also we eat these worms because we have to balance the ecosystem too.
      Too much worms cause invasion of habitats.

      @chingizzhylkybayev8575 Před 5 lety +1

      @@princesadepresa5396 they do not cover it in jelly in purpose, obviously. The jelly is just the cooled down eel broth from when it was boiled.

      SamurPie Jack ugh I can’t stand durian. But like the guy said, you either like it, or hate it. I can’t go past the smell and the taste is WEIRDLY sweet??! Like it really tastes like something rotten with sugar on top. My mom on the other hand loves it!

    Those garbage plates are a nightmare to those with OCD. While it personally doesn't effect me, many many people with OCD can't have their food touching. Thankfully my OCD manifests in a way where I can handle having my food touching (because I like eating meatloaf with mashed potatoes, or mashed potatoes with my corn). But for many..oh no. This plate of food would be nightmare inducing.
