I wonder what makes people who like them become proselytizers of the Durian religion. That is, why does it seem that you are either obsessed with (addicted to?) Durian or are completely repulsed by it. Somehow I am in the middle which doesn't seem common. I don't think Durians stink but they also don't excite me that much.

I absolutely love durian and I rue the fact that it is hard to find (and expensive) in Central Europe. I find the odor strong, but not repulsive. My wife, OTOH, hates it with passion. She cannot eat it even outdoors, where the wind blows the smell away.
