Durian is a pungent, rank smelling fruit common in Singapore that is hard to harvest and cut open. And yet, it's inspired scores of devotees, including food writer Jennifer Wong, who writes, “For those of us who hail durian as our king of fruits, the smell elicits an undeniable longing — for both the fruit itself and the cultural remembrance it represents.” Whether it's stinky tofu, roasted grasshoppers or chicken feet, many cultures embrace foods that might come off as unappetizing at first sniff. So, how do some seemingly unusual ingredients become delicacies? In our latest All You Can Eat segment with KQED Food Editor Luke Tsai, we dive into funky foods that we aren't supposed to love – but do so unabashedly. Guests: Luke Tsai, food editor, KQED Arts & Culture Javier Cabral, Editor, L.A. Taco - independent local news and culture site, and Associate producer for the Taco Chronicles on Netflix Jennifer Wong, author of the article "A Bay Area Love Letter to Durian," published on KQED Arts and Culture Monica Martinez, Founder and CEO,Don Bugito - a San Francisco company that makes protein snacks from edible insects

Listen now for the sheer amusement of hearing Wharton Vice Dean of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Karl Ulrich spend 10 minutes eating bugs: chocolate covered crickets, chile-lime crickets, and coconut brittle bugitos, which Karl describes as, "like peanut brittle, but it's larvae brittle." Don Bugito, founded by Monica Martinez, sells edible insects as a healthy, sustainable snack food. They're high in protein, Omega-3, fiber, and are extremely water-efficient to grow. The whole interview is a fascinating dive into Monica's unexpected entrepreneurial journey, and by the end, you'll want to snack some larvae brittle as well.

"Insects do not taste like chicken," said Daniella Martin, a charismatic advocate of eating low - make that really low - on the food chain. Through public lectures, cooking demonstrations and her 'Girl Meets Bug' website, Martin preaches the gospel of why, in her opinion, more people should munch on mealworms, crunch a cricket or feast on plump bee larvae.
