The Durian is fondly known as the king of fruits in South East Asia. It's a fruit that the locals love but others hate. In fact, Andrew Zimmern, the presenter of Travel Channel's "Bizarre Foods" (the guy who eats the world's craziest and weirdest things) can't stand durians!

The name durian comes from the Malay word "duri" which means thorns. Cutting open a durian is an art. You have to cut along certain lines created by the thorns, which are just about visible. If you get it wrong, it would be tough to open. Once cut, you use your palms to push apart the insides to reveal the yellow flesh.

The smell of the durian is so strong, it's enough to make you salivate or faint, depending on which side of the fence you are.

If you're ever in Malaysia, you must give it a try. Who knows? You could end up liking something which Andrew Zimmern himself can't stomach!
