Does durian test better the more you eat it?

I tried durian recently, and while the taste was intriguing (hints of mango and tropical fruit), it was disgusting at the same time (hints of rotten onions and old gym sneakers).

I heard one person say that it's an acquired taste... Does it actually taste better over time the more you eat it??

    It does grow on you, but not everyone acquires the taste. I've eaten it in Asia; the one time I had it here in Australia it was OK but didn't taste nearly as good.

    I've tried to acquire a taste for lychees, but despite trying multiple times I still hate the things.

    As a chef working in Singapore I developed a taste for it, like ripe cheese such as Limburger and Blue Veined ones, it is an acquired taste, I had some other novel foods and drinks as chef, most at this time I would not consume now, so I would not put it off your choices, just keep it for special occasions, I even buy durian paste, it is a cooked mashed paste used mainly in pastries in Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia.
