Guess what? It was the most revolting thing I have ever tasted. It took every ounce of will not to visibly gag.
I am now wondering if durian, like cilantro, can taste different to different people due to some kind of genetic variation. Because the sweet little old lady kept talking about how "sweet" and "creamy" the same fruit I was eating tasted to her, but to me it tasted like rancid and revolting.
This does make me wonder the same thing!

Flavored ice cream sucks. I love vanilla and vanilla bean. Great ice cream doesn’t need all the gluttonous mix-ins.
Errr... vanilla is a flavor?

Bacon. It is fine. Sometimes good. Not a thing that seems to merit the obsession.

Super thick hamburgers and those jumbo 1/4 lb hot dogs. In some cases in life smaller is better!
And don’t add that leathery bitter lettuce, flavorless pale tomato, and entire slab of onion to that burger either.
