Me, I don't buy the taste-and-smell-are-different-things concept, either in general or in specific (durian)

. Maybe for some folks, but for me they are too closely related to be seperate. I too have some friends who swear by durian, but they tend to say that you have to have grown up with it...
Looking forward to having the pre-order come through though!

I've smelled Durian but never actually eaten it fresh. I have tried it dried though, and, well let's just say it didn't inspire me to eat more.  I know people who swear by it and insist that the taste is nothing like the smell.
