Strange Surprise

  And the thing I learned yesterday was, what lychee tastes like. I have seen the unusual fruit in the asian markets but it looks so different in the eyes of a westerner that I never had the gumption to try it. Hard outer shell, white and soft inner flesh, just nothing like the fruit I am used to. Thai Select on South Hulen uses them in their roasted duck with red curry sauce and they are delicious. A soft mouth feel with a bit of an apple flavor, a little sweet, a little tart, but truly delicious. Turns out to be another one of those instances where I ask why I did not try it sooner.
