Durian
spicy courage 120 min +100 XP
Have you tried durian — the fruit whose smell gets hotels shut down? Your task — find it and try it. Asian store, Thai market, order online, or fly to Bangkok — doesn't matter how. Just try it. And remember the look on your face.
Why this matters
There is a fruit hotels ban from their lobbies. One piece and you know what the argument is about.
What to do
First find where to get it: an Asian grocery, a Thai market, a big supermarket with an exotic section, or delivery — it is often sold frozen or vacuum packed, and that counts too. Buy a small piece, not a whole fruit: you will not finish a whole one. Eat it outside, on a balcony or by an open window; the smell stays in a room for a long time, and hotels and metros ban it for a reason. Open it and eat with your hands, the flesh is custardy, leave the stone alone. Get through the first breath and taste it anyway: with durian the smell and the taste are further apart than with any other food. Ask someone to film your face at that moment.
Afterwards
What else did I reject on first impression without ever trying it?
