Root: durian
Usage Notes:
Some westerners may find the smell of this fruit particularly unpleasant, however the fruit itself tastes better than it smells!
People who grew up eating the fruit (like many Filipinos) often think the smell and taste is aromatic and pleasant, while others may find the smell disgusting and repulsive, comparing it to the smell of rank cheese.
Because of that strong smell, this fruit is often banned from public transportation.
The name "durian" comes from a Malay word meaning "spike," referring to the fruit's spiky outer husk.
