Would You Spend $1000 For A Fruit That Smelled Like A Sewer?

It's amazing what some people will consider appetizing around the world. Take this fruit in Asia for instance. The Durian is a hugely popular fruit that is enjoyed across many parts of Asia. The fruit is considered a treat, but also known for having a strong, unpleasant smell. That's not the only thing that is unpleasant about the fruit. It also goes for around $1,000 apiece. A group of farmers in central Java reportedly grow the “J-Queen” durian because it was said to have a special taste and feel. One farmer said he grew two rare durians, which were sold at a store in Tasikmalaya. They were sold for a little over $1,000 apiece.

It's described as creamy, like butter, sweet, fluffy and delicious. Yeah...as long as you have a clothes pin to hold your nose shut!!

In case you missed it, Jimmy Kimmel had Jessica Chastain on his show..and they tried eating the "Blue Cheese of Fruit." How'd it go?
