Cupcakes with the tempting fragrance of...durian?Posted Feb 16th 2007 8:07PM by Sarah J. GimFiled under: Dessert, Food Porn, Far East, South Asia, Fruit, Food Oddities, On the Blogs, Islands, SugarIf you're familiar at all with the typical fruits of tropical Asia, you've probably heard of durian. It's a fruit, alright, but it certainly doesn't give off the heavenly fruity scent of regular tropical fruits. According to the reports (I have, myself, never been around the stuff), durian smells really, really, really bad. I have heard phrases like "sewage pipes" and "rotting onions." However, like many foods that are often fairly foul upon first experience, durian is considered a sort of delicacy, and for food blogger Babe in the City, durian is enough of a delight that it was mashed into a pulp and added to cupcakes!Now the only question is, what flavor frosting goes with "rotting onions?"
