Eat Durian Fruit
As part of the BBC's "50 Things To Eat Before You Die" I needed to try Durian fruit.
According to Wikipedia the fruit is most famous for smelling and tasting disgusting. Food writer Richard Sterling says "its odor is best described as pig-shit, turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock" and others claim it is like civet, sewage, stale vomit, skunk spray and used surgical swabs.
During my recent visit to Bristol, Jody and I discovered some in an oriental supermarket, and took some home for a taste test. Cleverly, we decided to do this while drunk... thus adding to the likelihood of vomiting.

Great that you wanna try durian, but unfortunately that's not the real thing. Fresh durian fruit varies in colour and the best is the Thai Durian.
Yep that looks like a durian cake thingy, it's not the actual fruit. Try it the next time you travel to Southeast Asia. :)
It's my favourite fruit in the world.
