And typically it does NOT cost $200 unless it's really really special.... more like $20 or less..]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[David T]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 23rd 2008 11:19AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Durian, the $200 Fruit that Smells Like Gas]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/06/23/durian-the-200-fruit-that-smells-like-gas/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/06/23/durian-the-200-fruit-that-smells-like-gas/</guid><description><![CDATA[Anybody that pays $200 for Durian is an idiot.

Although the packaging to keep it from smelling up places needs to be very good. It's banned in many public places.<br><br>I've tried the fruit twice. It's very polarizing. You love it or hate it. Unfortunately I hate it. Utterly revolting. Just recalling the taste and texture causes nausea. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[verdegrrl]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 23rd 2008 1:24PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Durian, the $200 Fruit that Smells Like Gas]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/06/23/durian-the-200-fruit-that-smells-like-gas/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/06/23/durian-the-200-fruit-that-smells-like-gas/</guid><description><![CDATA[The average durian costs no more than the equivalent of  USD8.00 - 10.00.

The so-called "stinky" part is the part you eat!  Personally, i don't like the taste of fresh durian, mainly due to the texture, but I actually like the smell.  Durian is often mixed with flour and sugar to make a sweet paste which is very good as a filling for baked goods, or eaten plain.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[willysson]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 9th 2008 5:52AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Durian, the $200 Fruit that Smells Like Gas]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/06/23/durian-the-200-fruit-that-smells-like-gas/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/06/23/durian-the-200-fruit-that-smells-like-gas/</guid><description><![CDATA[Durian does NOT cost $200, you can get one for $12-14 in San Francisco's Chinatown.
