You think smoked croc smells bad, you should try Durian? (fruit thingie, can't spell worth today), as I am sure Badsinger can attest to. It's one of the worst odors I have experiences, other than the old Chinese delicacy, Stinky Tofu.
I've heard that!!
but..... doesn't it TASTE amazing? (at least.... that's what I'm told)
Yep, usually it's not hard to get the real stuff from my local Asian grocery store, they have them frozen. It's the smell of preparing them. The texture is like creamy cotton candy and the taste is unbelievable. A local Vietnamese Noodle Soup shop has Durian drink that is supposedly made from the juice. That's how I get my fill.
Stinky tofu on the other hand, not sure about the taste, it's an acquired taste for sure. There are a few Chinese outdoor events that happen a year around here during the summer. I can smell that stinky tofu from a few blocks away from vendors who sells them. I am not kidding either.
