How do you most often eat it? Raw? With some condiment?

You would eat the flesh raw and discard the seeds. Some people like to pair durians with mangosteens[0]. Durian burps have a strange aftertaste so most people I know avoid drinking carbonated drinks (i.e. Coke, Pepsi) while eating durian.

I grew up with durian, and I think durian burps are fine.

In the region, there's this belief that durians shouldn't be eaten with alcohol though — you're welcome to read up on the myth behind it.
