No. No. No. Don't just buy a raw one if you don't know what to do with it. Find a place that has prepared it in something. I recommend durian ice cream. The waitress warned me that it tasted like gas. I asked her if she meant the fuel or farts and she just repeated "gassy". It smelled sweet like unburned gasoline at a classic car show and earthy like a belt loosening fart. And yet somehow it doesn't actually taste bad. It's mostly just unsettling that it tastes as good as it does. I'm not sure I'd order it again, except on a dare or to horrify any companions that haven't experienced it yet. It's like spicy food, sometimes you've got to power through the initial stink/spice to really get to the hidden flavors.
