I really like that you take that moment to really analyze flavor. waiting until it has been chewed and swallowed. The anticipation kills me haha but its so worth it. Most people spew bullshit the second food hits their mouth (think of a rad frosted tipped hedgehog haired gentleman) which makes it hard for me to watch those facetious reviews/shows.
Thanks Jacob! Yeah I can't watch people review things who aren't actually giving it thought. From all the videos I've made, I've found that a lot of the hype around what fruit tastes like is simply not true.
What did you just say about my boy Guy Ferrari?
Gyucg
I agree. You're a real person and that's a rare thing to find on social media.
Looks amazing. Living the dream. Fruit is my favorite things in the world.
Yay! You found a durian you like! Now, try another Thai monthong (mild taste), and see if you like it more! They say people do like it more and more each time, right?
I feel it’s your duty, oh, weird fruit-ed one! 👊🏼
Gotta find tree dropped for a good Monthong. Problem is most are underripe, cut early and chemically Ripened
Monthong durian is a pretty good durian but I don't recommend it for your first durian
We cut into a frozen durian and it was really ok. Even enjoyable. Tastes like white pepper and cheese. Ish. I love your channel.
I love durian! Also love jackfruit. 🤤
What a gem of a fruit you found! Amazing find :)
yes, really happy about this one :)
I want to try that! Glad to see that there is a good type of durian out there! Can't wait to see more!
I saw these frozen at a market last week. If I'd known they're markedly different from regular durian I might have picked one up.
i had these before. love them! and i hate durians.... im craving it now but its almost impossible to find outside malaysia
First love the channel I had many rare fruits myself. I have to say though I have a strange immunity to the durian smell. To me a durian smells like fresh lumber. It has a brief onion smell when first opened. That depletes rather quickly. I even tried to dry out the shell to keep it and thats when people I know told me it smelled, but I walked up to the 'stinky' black durian shell and it still smelled like lumber to me. I guess it doesn't effect everyone the same way. I love the taste and texture even the slight stringy feel it sometimes has. There is also just a mild onion aftertaste but its interesting rather than bad.
Your channel is great I use it to show friends fruits I have had. Please keep up the wonderful work.
Interesting. The smell to me is reminiscent of moldy sweatsocks soaked in kerosene.
Now you've given me a craving for dried apples...
Dammit, now I cannot rest until I find seeds or a plant for lukak. Thanks for showing this fruit to a new audience!
Did u find them?
That sounds delicious! Glad you were able to enjoy this one :)
Thanks!
This seems like a much better fruit for the export market. A much less intimidating size and a more colourful appearance
in east borneo, we called this "Lai/Buah Lai" not durian
I glad you like it.
I probably love durian because I've grown up with it. My parents would always buy the frozen ones and kept telling me it was pineapple ice cream. Which I believed for the longest time, but every time I ate it i would be like "this doesn't taste like pineapple at all!"
My family hates it and I’m the only one who eats it. I’m not sure why I found a liking to it, but I don’t get the onion and feet, only egg custard.
I'm here to watch you eat. Lol
+Dwi Purwanti Enjoy! haha
Have you tried the durian that they say taste and smells like peanut butter? They say it’s hard to find but does not have that durian smell.
Aw man, I like your old video introductions, the one with the 90's elevator music. Can you make a video of fruits you want to taste? 👍👍👍
Good to know that. I'm not the only one. I got a lot of complaints about that music. Yeah that's a good idea, I'll probably be posting a couple top ten videos when I hit 150 episodes
Haters gonna hate.
I can never tell if you like something or hate who agrees?
I agree, it's hard to tell, lol.
You have to judge according to his comments rather than his expressions.
If Im not mistaken in Brunei it is called Durian Pulu, native to Borneo, I love eating it
That is the test...if you want to keep eating it, then it must be good.
I watch a couple of "Fruitarians" who travel in Malasia and those areas that grow Durian and they have said there are many varieties of Durian and they each have a slightly different taste.
Grown mainly in Kalimantan, it's also called Buah Lai. The tree is a lot smaller than the durian tree.
I keep seeing all fruits with the same outside texture- same family. However , in Guyana there is one that looks like this but is a vegetable. Katahar, a veg that must be cooked with coconut milk. I hope you are able to review that as well s 'fat pork' a pink fruit and 'popo'
I'm want to prove! This must be delicious!
Thats durio kutejensis bro, please try durio kutejensis white flesh, im sure u will like it
A gateway fruit
I like the look of the bigger durian textures, just kinda falls apart like pulled pork only I hear it's got a custard/pudding/savory cake
I've seen it just skewered on the very bottom and twisted the knife, the durian kinda opens those little compartments the rest of the way for you
This variety actually opens on its own at the bottom when fully mature same with Durio Graveolens. The fruit wants you to eat it! Can also step on it. That's how elephants open them
Eeek! What were those pulsating things in the beginning??
sago worms. they're a delicacy throughout borneo
Weird Explorer blerggg
Try Duku and Talap. Those come out together with durians. Durians are very heaty and to balance it we eat Talap. Not sure if they are out yet. Greetings from Miri!
+C Y I've had them. I really enjoy Tarap as well.
You ever think about doing videos, for rare vegatables????
If I find something especially interesting then I will make a video :)
Here in Alberta we have a great tasting berry called Saskatoons. They are one of my favourite fruits, next time you get a chance try them out. Might be hard to find though.
+MEGADOOMPIE Thanks! Yes thats one that I've been wanting to try. I think you can forage it in the parks around where I am.
aka Serviceberry. They're around the NW US too; when I had property I planted some from the conservation district. If you find yourself in West Seattle at the right time of year there was a bush in front of the lodge building at Camp Long when last I was there.
Man, now I want to try this one. Probably can't get it in Singapore or Malaysia. Failing that, durian.
Malaysian Boreno and Indonesia are probably the only places.
Its called nyekak or buah pakan in sarawak
I had this in Sri Lanka!
Hmm this duruab also sold in the Indonesia market
Can we talk about protein quality?
Some lukak durian flesh have red color...... rare......
You mean Durio graveolens, local name Dalit?
yup that one...
Sometimes lukak durian have hair
And however red durians native to burnei
Iove durian
its called "Lai" in indonesian part of borneo(kalimantan) , one of my fav fruits :D
Oh? I didn't know that. thanks
you're welcome :D
Next time try "durian kuning" taste good
+Jody Sufi I'll check it out. Thanks!
I LUV THERE VIDEOS
If you buy frozen durian but dont like the smell then don't fully thaw it because there pretty much will be no stink and it will taste like frozen custard
Doesn't like Durians.
*Eats EVERY kind of Durian he can get his hands on!*
How will you know if you don't like them unless you try them all~?
@@SurprisedPikacheesecake True. 😄 Gonna get myself a ton of Nonis bow just to be sure😁
Looks like the flesh peels off like jackfruit.
Is it a mating of durian and jackfruit?
nope, those fruits aren't related so they can't be hybridized
Your new favorite fruit?
Yep! I love these
Acturely tell u is realy hard to fine the durian lukak fruit totaly it axpensive one thn normaly durian.
where can I find these durian? I want to eat this durian. thanks.
+Keming Yuan I found these in the city of Miri and Kota Kinabalu in East Malaysian Borneo. It was around February, but I've heard Dec and Jan are good times to visit. They are a threatened species and very hard to find anywhere outside Borneo.
Jared Rydelek thank you very much! I hope I will find jungle durian there!
how does Jared know what feet taste like 🤔🤔
This is also called "durian hutan" That means Jungle Durian
Yes I believe durian hutan refers to several different species of wild durian
How sweet is it, orange, blue berry, avocado?
Not very sweet but it had a strong fruity flavor so it seemed sweet thinking back at it, maybe around the same as regular durian.
borneo durian
I don't think I would be into any fruit who's texture is best described as "scrambled-egg-garbage"
I would say "rotten onion custard." That was my first impression of regular durian. But then it somehow "clicked" in a way that's really hard to describe.
sazji You aren't selling it well lol
I think it tastes more vanilla-y and mango-y more than that cooked onion taste some people use to describe it.
I had a frozen durian that i thawed and really it had an undercooked scrambled egg texture BUT the initial flavour was pretty good. Like a garlicy custard with some chives mixed in and then the garbagey flavour took over.
I say it smells like a gas leak and tastes like spring onions... my dogs love it though!
what made you go overseas? what made you decide to try exotic fruit? have you found any that you're allergic to?
+Susan Clenin Damn Susan. You're crazy cute yo
Oh, um thanks
Susan Clenin lol , alright
Hey Susan. I've always loved traveling and trying exotic fruit even when I was little. I originally went to Malaysia about 4 years ago for work and was amazed by all the exotic fruit available. As a vegetarian, it became something like a meat free safari and thought it would be fun to share My adventures. :)
That is awesome!! I'm a little bit jealous, but mostly happy for you, with a splash of envy. I would love to travel. Were you an army brat? Or did your parents travel? What kind of work did you do?
The fruit looks like a mix between mango and uni
Did you already had rambutan in your show?
Yep, red ones, yellow ones, the related pulasan and roasted rambutan seeds. do a channel search on here if you wanna check it out. Thanks!
Yeah I already saw it minutes after posting this comment.
Great channel by the way. Congrats.
thank you for another awesome video, anyone know what this fruit is called in Bahasa or what it is called in Indonesia ? (aside from just Durian) Thank you
Durian lai / durian hutan
I think its not completely ripe yet. It tastes better if it is more ripe :))
It was perfect. And I've had lesser ripe ones that tasted close to the same.
The taste reminds me of peanutbutter XD
What does Durian even taste like? Whats the hype about it in the veggie community?
watch the durian episode :). Durian is an acquired taste, like eating a stinky cheese.
I love you Jared
Thats a pretty unusual looking Kutejensis...usually they're not quite so oblong. I didn't realize you were not a fan of durian! Kutejensis tastes pretty different than durian...haha I don't like it!
Hey Lindsay! I found this one at the Sunday market in Miri. An old man had 3 of them on a blanket and that was all he was selling. It probably was one from his own tree, which might explain why it looks different. Later on I saw some of the vendors on durian street in Kuching selling ones that were rounder and about half the size. The taste was about the same though.
That's funny that you don't like kutejensis for the same reason I do. I don't dislike durian, but I have a weird relationship with it. I understand why its good and enjoy it in small doses, but I haven't entirely acquired the taste for it. Its like eating a really stinky cheese.
+Jared Rydelek Yeah, it is funny right?! Im pretty sure I could set you up with a durian Z. you would like now that I know your flavors. Kutejensis is also quite a bit lower in fat than normal durian, only 10% by calorie rather than around 30% for normal durian. I think some people prefer the lighter flavor/texture, as well as its fruitier profile :)
+Year of the Durian - We Travel For Durian Well I'm eagerly awaiting the day you to introduce me to the durian z of my dreams. That's interesting about the different fat contents. I don't mind fatty fruits, but I do like how easy the kutejensis is to take.
this seem to jackfruit to form to eat the fruit
I still remember how it tastes like. very thick and smooth cheese. it is not sweet, no aromas like other durian.
This is not the jungle durian ,
I think thats taste more like red durian....
I had a red durian that was also a small size. it had almost no flavor to it.
Can you send me those seeds? ;)
+The Blue Farmer Unfortunately no. I looked into permits to bring seeds back and it just was too much trouble. Also these are a threatened species which makes it an even bigger headache.
+Jared Rydelek www.rarepalmseeds.com/fruit_trees.shtml found a place that mail order seeds!
hahaha! little man can't open a durian correctly! hahaha!
you're the best
Miri is easily one of the boring-est places ever, no matter the durian
the weekly market was worth the stop.
Looks pretty unripe
Tasted perfect
Jared Rydelek the taste is all that matters :)
If this was regular Durian then yes, but for 'Lukak' totally the opposite,, did you see how it sorta opened by-itself after W.E worked out how to open it properly ? 6:20
are you vegan?
I'm vegetarian
Cool! Did you just decide to become Vegetarian? How long have you been abroad? How long do you plan to stay abroad?
Sorry about all the questions. I'm just curious. I'll probably never get to leave the USA so I have to live vicariously through you! Lol
+Susan Clenin I was raised vegetarian actually. I am back in NYC now. I was abroad for two months, one month in borneo, one month in Japan. There's always a way to travel. Good thing with places like Borneo at least is that its dirt cheap. You can get by on $10 a day.
You cut it wrong.It would have tasted even better if you hadn't .
