what's that smell?

Durians are banned from planes and some areas.

why? explains the UKGuardian:

The infamous durian – regarded the king of fruit in much of south-east Asia – is best known for its pungent smell, variously compared to sewage, rotting flesh or, at best, ripe cheese. The green, spiky durian is an awkward travel companion: it is banned on Singapore's rail network, as well as many in airports and hotels in south-east Asia. Durians polarise people. Fans say if you can get past the stink, the flesh has an ambrosial taste.


the good news? Frozen Durian doesnt smell.

yes, I've eaten it and it is delicious... it tastes like custard.
