Like butter: Durian on a stick

Durian is a tropical fruit that is infamously stinky.  It's encased in a hard, spikey shell that is twice as big as a cantelope.  My mother-in-law loves it, so when I spotted durian ice bars at the Asian grocery the other day, I bought them as her Christmas gift.  Before presenting them to her some friends and I tasted one to see what the fuss was about.  Here are our reactions:

literally bull crap...after-taste doesn't go away...like a dirty washcloth...a one, two punch of grossness...like dirty butter

Mmm.  Merry Christmas, Ma!
