Would you ever try this?! I found this online and it seems about accurate! "The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust, and has been described variously as rotten onions, turpentine, and raw sewage"
I'm so curious I might regret but I do want to try it!
Durian? I love it - 😊
My MOST favorite fruit in the whole wide world! However it must not be green or over ripen... that said I watched my sister take down a huge durian single-handedly ... haha.. Great memories!
Wow!
Thank for the donate! I wish you both and you families have a happy and healthy life 💓
This was THEE best episode I've ever seen by ANYONE! PERIOD!
ขอขอบคุณครับที่คุณ2คนถ่ายทอดประเพณีวัฒนธรรมดีๆเผยแพร่ให้ชาวโลกได้รู้จักประเทศไทย Thank you
WoW! My hats off to both of you for trying NEW things and ideas and embracing the Thai culture.
กาาคายทุเรียน บ้วนน้ำลาย ทิ้งขยะ บนทางเท้ามีโทษปรับนะครับ แนะนำให้ไปทานข้างถังขยะแล้วทิ้งลงถัง หรือเอาถุงขยะติดตัว เพื่อทิ้งขยะ ทำแบบนี้ถือว่าไม่เคารพสถานที่ และผิดกฎหมายครับ
Wow, you guys, that was a great video. sharing a meal has a different feel now, and the monks, that is a whole other level. It was cool when you danced, Hillary, and such a lovely ceremony. The best part was at the end tho, your monologue, 'ask about it', and the Whitman quote, perfection! And stay clear of Durian fruit!
thank you so much for your comment and encouragement!
Have a peaceful in your mind. Love your videos.
Thanks for making me laugh so so hard watching you try durian fruit. I absolutely love the stuff. I also love drinking durian bubble tea. May you taste something amazingly good soon! 😂🙏
I was so very moved by the message you shared. Love you guys............and I laughed at the durian sequence!!!
thank you Scot!
Durians are greatly different from one to another according to their species and stages of ripeness. Some species have very strong smell while others are very mild. Some even smell like flowers. The stage of ripeness even has greater effects on a durian. When it's a bit underripe its hard on the outside and soft on the inside. Its smell is mild too and it tastes a bit sweet and creamy. We call this stage "Krop nok noom nai". A lot of Thai people prefer this stage. If you keep it for 1 or 2 more days its texture will be more consistent. It will be soft on both the outside and the inside and the smell will be a bit stronger but not too strong. It also tastes sweeter and more creamy than an underripe one. This is the perfect ripeness for some people. However, if you keep it for 1 or 2 days longer it will be overripe. At this stage it has pungent smell and turns mushy or pulpy. It also has alcoholic taste and even tastes bitter. But still there are some people who love durians at this stage. I think the one you got was a bit overripe. One big mistake people make when they try durian for the first time is to think of it as a fruit (although it really is a fruit);they should have no expectation at all. When you first eat it, don't compare its smell to anything but enjoy its sweet and creamy taste. This way your brain will accept its smell as food. Too bad you already have bad impression on your first try. I doubt if you will ever love it.
Great explanation! 👍👍👍
So true! I immediately thought it was underripe but you are correct… overripe also can have an unpleasant taste!
oh wow--thank you SO much for this insight and explanation!
Very cool. Hope you can check out Bali while you are in the region. That would be intriguing. And you could learn to surf as a bonus.
So beautiful to saw ur have give for food at Monk in morning.. that will ur get bless good 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi guys! It's so sweet to hear Greg call Hill "My love." Endearing.
Yes yes I have to return to Chiang Mai.. loved that city
Great job, your video editing is up to another level.
thank you!
I understand your but It is very very good for me ❤❤❤❤❤
The Jack fruit or “Yuca” in Mexico is in the durian family but very delicious.
I love all your videos but this one cakes it lmao :))
This is why I enjoy your videos - sure, you are fun, curious and adventurous but you also have beautiful hearts which just comes through in your videos - loved Greg's comment about starting the day with a selfless act and Hillary's about being curious, not judgemental. Enjoy your journey and keep sharing it with us♥️
thank you Archie!
Awesome sights. Thanks for sharing some local culture. You guys are funny.
Excellent as usual! Loved your message. So appropriate!
Que buenos pensamientos. Gracias
So who was the first person to walk buy a durian and say, yum, I want to eat some of that? Great video!
Your guys very awesome love your video so much thanks again hope some more coming out ❤
Thank you for this awesome video
This video was amazing
Food is "THE Holy Communion!"
I’ve seen so many vdos about foreigners try durians. your reactions are the best. Hahaha
hahah!
Start your day with a selfless act, amazing. The whole durian thing was funny, but I felt so bad for you both. Good for you for trying it, don't think I could. I loved the dinner performances. Good for Hillary to take part. Hillary, your final words were gold - Anne
Oh gosh, i wrote the first comment before watching the whole thing. Gregs discomfort with the crossed legs was also hilarious! I can SO RELATE! I could never sit like that for more than 5 minutes i think,. I never could even as a kid. Super video you guys.
thank you Ginnie! haha--we need to practice sitting on the floor I guess!
This one was interesting.
Whats up mi friendns whe aré you guys coming back to México
Probably never. They didn't realize there was an exciting world to explore out there. They explored all of Puerto Vallarta. The world is next. :)
@@CM-pr5pg who aré you
Hola! We WILL be back to Mexico. We just weren't ready to settle down yet :)
@@kinetickennons you guys are too young to settle in one place. Keep globetrotting.
I just love it, maybe it was not ripen yes! It’s delicious!
Solid effort on the fruit guys.
haha--we can at least say we tried!
It’s a Thai luau! Cool! Tfs
The past and present wilt-I have fill'd them, emptied them.
And proceed to fill my next fold of the future.
So beautiful I was wondering how did you book this dinner? I would love to experience this like you did!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Sabrina 🇫🇷🇬🇧
hi there! This was through the Cultural Center in Chiang Mai!
@@kinetickennons thank you 🙏🏼 incredible beauties
That is one of your best - your reactions cracked me up
Ye your reaction is pretty accurate. I’ve tried durian ice cream… taste like straight hot garbage… I can only assume this was eaten in rough times… times where hot garbage was all there was… so hot garbage with a little sweetness must have been a step up
I love durian...its native fruit in malaysia too...durian means thorny fruit...but not all people will like durian...some may find it tasty
OMG you guys! I have not laughed so hard for quite a while. When Greg first tried it, that was hilarious. Sorry Greg. And then Hilary. Too much. You guys are brave and that was fun. The rest of the video was good too. Glad you are enjoying your travels.
Ok guys. This is a good 1. Perhaps a top 5 for you guys in the way of travel video.
Be curious, not judgemental....but not with durian fruit 😂😂😂
Love that you partook in learning Thai culture, from offering foods to a monk, tried strange fruit, had traditional Northern Thai meal and participated in Thai dance. What a jouney ❤️ Have fun in Thailand.
thank you for your encouragement!
Mon Thong durians are delicious.
Beautiful message at the beginning and end of the video. Thanks for sharing that. Durian... It was everywhere in Malaysia. I couldn't get past the smell to try it and I consider myself pretty adventurous with food. There is a place down the street from me here in Chiang Mai that sells mango sticky rice, which I love. They also have durian sticky rice. I think that may be the ticket for trying durian for the first time. 😎
durian sticky rice?! Why ruin a good thing!? haha!
I can tell that it was too overripe. You guys should buy Mon Thong durians at TOPS supermarket, their durians are from reliable farms and choose durians that's hard on the outside and soft inside.
Delish right?
My question is when buying it did you see others buying 😂😂😂
haha no not really---but then again it was also about 7 AM so maybe that's why?!
👌👍😍🇹🇭
You were brave to try the durian. Jetlag Warriors, a TH-cam travel couple from Canada, actually love it! Greg, I totally felt your pain at having to sit on the floor! I’m 5’10’, and there’s no way I could have sat on the floor for even five minutes! Great job getting up there and dancing, Hilary! Really enjoying your travels and adventures around the world. Keep up your fantastic work! ❤️
thank you so much for your encouragement Maria!
I’m Thai. That durian you tried was way too ripe. Majority of Thais won’t eat it. The proper one must have tight skin, not too soft, not to stinky. And the best time to harvest high grade durian should be in summer. This quite a bit late because when durian tree, while it is having fruits, exposed to the rain. The quality of the fruits will drop a lot.
Ending = nicely done (just say no to durian).
I wish I could discover Asia, again.
we hope you feel like you're right here exploring alongside us!
I like mine with sticky rice..😋😋😋
Some people who had it said it's an acquired taste.
I was in Singapore, and my friends there wanted me to try Durian, because I told them that I like every kind of food, there's nothing I don't like. Well, I tried Durian and I really liked it. They didn't believe me, so they told me to eat more, I ate the entire package they had of fresh Durian.
Now that smell, it reminds me of a gas leak, the smell of rotten eggs mixed with dirty, stinky gym clothes. LOL
Singapore durians are imported from malaysia. And we never ever pluck it unripe.
The durian was 'too ripe'.
Durian is most our best fruit but you have to select ones that not too soft, a little bit harder on skin is better that less smell and good taste.
oops---I think ours may have been too ripe!
For Thai people, offering food to monks can be passed on to a deceased relative. He will have meal in the afterlife.
As a Thai I hate durian but my whole family loves it😂
apart from durian variety, the ripeness level of durian will greatly affect its taste, smell, and texture. it's safer for 1st time eater not to try very ripe durian. also, only for the monthong variety (the one you had), after cutting from the tree, most vendors in thailand will use a plant hormone to control the day of ripeness. it's safe to eat but it's not as good as the one not using it. you can tell this by looking at the stem. they will cut it short right at the bumpy part in the middle of the stem. please look at Mickey Stoch ytb channel-- extreme thai food tour on a motorbike clip at 25m. i'm sure you will like durian if you had tried the same.
So did the Monk pray for you or bless you? or was there silence? What did the circle dance mean?
Good on you for trying it even after that smell, it is pretty bad/doesn't smell edible! Had a durian flavoured ice cream sandwich a friend from Indonesia gave me and it was tolerable... Tried the fruit a few years later and definitely not for me either.
Your white flower necklace is sweet and charming, just like you.
aww thank you!
That durian was overly overripe even Thai would put in the bin outside their houses. 😅
Ha ha ha ha .. you guys were braved that try to eat durian !,as a Thai person durian is ok for me, is not my favorite fruit. I like lychee, and rambutan very much its so sweet , juicy and fresh. Very nice of you to gave food to the monk, you tried to learn our tradition.I hope your guys enjoy and having fun in Thailand.
we are having a great time!
What a lovely gentleman you are, even you know to takeoff your Shoes before offering food to the Monks
Well god made it such that the best stuff is protected like a fort. Thick skin, spikes, bad odour. But the taste is like heaven.
It's ok, guys, that Durian is not for you. It took me 15 years to get pass the smell of Blue cheese without gagging. By the time I got used to it, the stores in AR hardly sell it anymore. 😂
I seen videos about this fruit Gringos, enjoy.
All joking aside about the nasty fruit loved it 🎉thank you ❤
At my next session, I'm going to ask my psychologist why I profoundly enjoyed watching Greg and Hillary eat something that nearly made them puke. Hopefully, I will achieve enlightenment with some counseling and antipsychotic medication.
I noticed that you bought overripe durian. I'm not surprised why you want to puke because the texture is too crumby, I usually eat harder textures than what you eat.
Haha i only tried it once + never smelled sewage, but definitely rotten onion smell 😂
I didn’t love the taste but it did taste better than it smelled
Great video, thks for sharing
haha! I guess it did taste better but WOW we didn't like it!
Haha, yep, I concur; rotten onions and rotten meat.
Hilarious, I LOVE durian. Delicious. But if you eat too much you start to smell. If you eat it cold it’s like the most delicious ice cream ever. Maybe you got a bad one?
yes , same you durian is overcook.
encountered durian fruit on our first trip to Vietnam and I understand why even Anthony Bourdain wouldn't eat it. the smell is the worst thing I've ever smelled! I wouldn't eat it for anything in the world! ATB Sam Adler from Vietnam
Durian is found in many marketplaces in Mexico. I can't believe you never tried it there. Just the smell is disgusting. I passed on it lol
many marketplaces? We have not seen it and no one has ever told us to try it in Mexico! We will have to look for it!
Glad I don’t have smell-a-vision!!!!
haha--YES. Consider yourself lucky!
🤣😂🤑🤑
There are different kinds of durian. My favorite is monthong durian. I like when it not too ripe. I think when it too ripen, it smell so bad and the texture is too soft. I couldn’t eat it either.
การคายทุเรียนทิ้งบนทางเท้า ไม่สมควรทำครับ มันสกปรก ควรทิ้งในถังขยะ
You have to choose the right "durain" because the one you eat is not the good one !
You must try again with “ monthong “ durian. Go to market Call this durian name with the seller . Monthong not strong smell and easy to eat.
This was a wonderful video Kennons! My favourite part was Greg’s offering to the Monk and the prayer. I have to say however that you made a big mistake with the Durian. You chose UNRIPE Durian and I can tell by the pale yellowish colour. Unripe Durian tastes completely different than ripe Durian and yes, unripe Durian eaten raw and uncooked tastes bad. Usually it is used for cooking in many countries mostly in curries, stews and stir fries. Seasoning, spices and flavourings are added. Ripe Durian fruit on the other hand is more bright yellow orange, juicy sweet and tastes like vanilla custard. It usually does not smell so bad because the sugar smell is stronger. please try to find the ripe fruit and try it!
I respect all the preference of people . But Durian is an very expensive fruit in Thailand and Malaysia Durians were exported to China that the huge demand in China is not full for Durians.
Most but not all Thail perple love Durian.
It is expesive and exported to China and South East Asia.
The one you guys ate is too riped.
Sitting on floor is quit common in Thailand family. When you do meditation we sit still for hours.
I have felt for a long time, if we could take kids from the ghetto on worldwide trips, they would become better citizens in their communities and the country. Amen! 😂
Lol I’m from The Philippines and we have durian as well but it’s mostly found in the south. It is revolting. I wouldn’t eat it, either. 😅
Hi, you're brave to try durian. It is an acquired taste. I'm quite addicted to it by now hahaha. But next time you try something you don't like, try not to spit it out on the sidewalk. You were sitting right next to a garbage bin... Another thing that made me uncomfortable was the scene where you squeeze out your sweat in a temple (another video), where people go to pay respect. It would be nice to give your sweated out juices back to the plants, not have people walk through them. Thanks and enjoy your travels!
Every video I say”great video”! You “served” another great one! (Did you catch that pun? 😅)
haha LOVE IT!
The closest I’ve come to eating durian was a tiny hard candy which I spit out within seconds, then spent the rest of the afternoon trying to get the taste out of my mouth. Hard pass. (And I’m normally a very open-minded, curious and adventurous eater.)
hahah us too! It's just that bad!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My gag reflex is on fire!🤢
love you guys... face masks???
Face masks are no longer mandatory in Thailand.
No México no kenetic kennons adiós 👋
I’m surprised nobody freaked out at you for spitting your food out on the sidewalk like that? I guess Thailand is more flexible. At least now you know you don’t like it but I think yours was overripe too
Why would they even want to sell a fruit that is so nasty to most? 🤮🤮🤮
Durian has to be eaten fresh (cut the fruit in front of you). The one you tried was old and too ripe. that's too bad, you would have liked it if eaten fresh.
I guess I won't be buying any of that.
yeah---save your money! haha!
Yeah what do they do with it gross
