Today's Experiment

I've seen these a lot in the grocery store produce department lately...I had no idea what they were, or what they tasted like. Since I'm fairly more open to experimenting with fruit (than French meat - they serve up some scarry shit in the meat department in a French grocery store).

Lychee - It is a tropical fruit tree native from southern China and Viitnam south to Indonesia and east to the Philippines - these happen to come from Madagascar (I love the name of that country). A little bit bigger than a large grape. Inedible rough red rind, peels off like the outside of a ripe alvacado. The inside is white with a texture like a grape. Has a suprising rose taste. To me, it taste like a Turkish delight (without the powder on the outside).

Rose flavor is not an appealing taste to me...but hey, at least I tried something new.

Maybe that's what I'll start doing, try a new fruit a week...
