Howdy folks todays food fear is durian fruit requested by Ben Glynn who is a
professional rugby player for Bristol rugby club
good times
Durian is an exotic seasonal fruit from Asia it's about the size of a watermelon
with a huge thorny husk on it
here's a couple of facts for you it's known as the king of fruits
due to the smell its banned from some public transport and hotels if it fell from a tree the thorns are so sharp they
they could
kill someone it contains an edible flesh with an odour that is known to resemble
onion sewage or even rotting flesh I dont know about you but i'm sold
let's do it...... doesn't smell
Is that how it's supposed to look?!
the fact we were outside made the smell less intimidating
my Mum was feeling confident so she went on the trampoline I like fruit but
I'm not too sure about this its making me
not feel too special
what does it smell like? sweaty feet
can you describe the taste?
Phoebe shouts 'don't be sick!'
yeah my mum wasn't a fan of that but the dog Emmie was loving it
was loving it my stepdad Tony stepping in
it does actually smell like sweaty feet i'll agree with you there
Phoebe shouts ' have a drink Nanny ' a few times
man that is gross! After seeing my StepFather's attempt it was time to do my doctor doolittle
impression
(app makes noise of cat meowing)
works every time! Then it was time to head to my friends james and Lornas
where this time we did inside
and we all had a go which made the smell a little bit more intense
How do you open? there is a gash there
oh no it looks like puss
ahh lovely get all this stuff out thats the good stuff just like a silky like
yet custardy silk silky custard yeah
be brave you need a bigger clump than that man
after you how is it
thats a face of...... oh yeah!
its got a fly on it
ughhh I swallowed it smells like im eating death
or roadkill imagine what a badger sat there a week tastes like
yeah doesnt look apatising
i'm nervous ...... I dont wanna do this
you've got a nice bit there
can I hold my nose?
it's not actually that........ urghhh yeah it is, it's like onion after isn't it
it's like gone off cabbage then you get an after kick of onion
put it in your mouth! .... I just ate it
this is worse i'm telling you
look at the size of that! tastes like onion
ughhhhh
that's worse! ...... general laughter
oh man
there's a stone in there i'll take all that you've gotta put the whole thing in your mouth
it's like the texture of a mushed up banana
down it! just a bit barry
it's that stringy bit there wobbling about!! .... it's just pumpkin flesh
oh my god ..... holy sh** oh my god that was a lot Barry
oh my gosh
I'm so sorry the smell and taste is like a badgers bottom
it's like velvet from an evil persons bedroom
blanket thing you wouldnt wanna eat that you would just give it to someone you hate
for Christmas yeah
pretty interesting huh, but what do you think my final verdict is going to be?
this might surprise you but I'm not going to rule out durian fruit i'm actually gonna
call it a fab food I wanna try it again im not saying im loving it
or hating it although the smell was disgusting & bad I just think the smell
overrides the flavour of what is there best thing to do is get hold of
some yourself
and give it a try see what you think remember to brush your teeth afterwards
if you enjoyed the video give it a thumbs up and subscribe if you havent already
and i'll see you very soon
cheers
