British novelist Anthony Burgess writes that eating durian is "like eating sweet raspberry blancmange in the lavatory". Chef Andrew Zimmern compares the taste to "completely rotten, mushy onions." Anthony Bourdain, a lover of durian, relates his encounter with the fruit thus: "Its taste can only be described as...indescribable, something you will either love or despise. ... Your breath will smell as if you'd been French-kissing your dead grandmother". Travel and food writer Richard Sterling says: "...its odor is best described as pig shit, turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock."
Other comparisons have been made with the civet, sewage, stale vomit, skunk spray and used surgical swabs.
