I had durian several times during my Asian "tour" and I wish I could describe it (sadly, Anthony Bourdain is kinda right except for the grandmother part)- sort like a raw, slightly rotten steak that's been caramelized and buttered with a side of overdone to the point of brown-ness broccoli. With a sort of orange smoothie on the side that's been made of rancid yogurt.
Not bad, really (hell, I've eaten fermented beans, raw quail eggs, and things that have been buried underground for years), but not something you want to do more than once.
