I live in St. Louis and can't seem to find durians anywhere...If there is anyone in this area, where can I buy them?

Hi there,
Have you been looking in asian stores? That is where you will find them! :-)
Happy durian hunting!
Take care,

Check out an Asian market. They keep them in the freezer there.

what does it taste like?
I read somewhere that they have a funky smell but they taste good. Do you eat them alone, use them in shakes, or what? I'm going to go online and see if I can find a picture of one!

I eat them alone, and I find it taste best that way. Just eat it like how you eat any other fruit. They taste like custard to me. It's very addictive; probably the most addictive fruit for me.

I'm in rural MS and there are no Asian markets anywhere close to me.
What about an online supplier? Anyone know where I might order a Durian? I'm on a mission to taste one.

Oh my gosh--durian is the best fruit ever! It's sooooooooooo good! I live in So. Cal and Whole Foods occasionally has it. It's like $17.99 a pound. It's such a treat. I don't buy it often becuase it's so expensive, but since Whole Foods doesn't always have it, I don't have to worry about spending so mcu all the time. I agree with the last post, it takes like custard. I just love it.
Booboo :)

I've never had it, and I dont know how to open it, i'm scared of the smell, and frankly, i'm scared to pick one up because of the stupid spikes on the sides.

The spikes do look intimidating but are just rough and don't hurt. In Alissa's DVD, she rips one open with her bare hands!
