    No. Definitely tastier. At least the fruit part. There is a different part that is more fleshy that is less tasty. It’s used as a pulled pork substitute in vegan dishes.

      It tastes like very overripe pineapple to me. Maybe I didn’t get it at the correct ripeness or something.

      Doesn’t durian smell like shit but taste great? Or is that just propaganda to fool tourists into trying it? (I haven’t had the pleasure…)

        It does smell a little funny but the taste and texture makes up for it. Especially as part of this desert (durian pulut) that comes with sticky rice and a kind of syrup.

        Maybe I haven’t found a good recipe yet. I’ve used canned jackfruit and it just tastes like heartburn and bile. The ripe stuff is good tho…

      Controversial statement that jackfruit is tastier than durian :D. I guess I haven’t found the good tasting part of jackfruit yet.
