minus-squareArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·8 months agoNice restaurant food, but I guess that doesn’t count. Lychees. The funny thing is that I can afford lychees, but I always think “Why buy them when these perfectly good grapes cost three times less?”
minus-squareCrackhappy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·8 months agoLychees are fine, but rambutan are the GOAT. I’m not sure where you live, but they’re super hard to find in the US in good quality.
minus-squareccunning@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·8 months agoRambutan have a fishy taste to me. But longan might give the lychee a run for their money 😋
minus-squareCrackhappy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 months agoThat’s fascinating. I never got that taste from rambutan. We actually had a tree in our yard, along with papaya, and I would just go pick them fresh before school. You ever had snake fruit? Now that’s an acquired taste!
minus-squareccunning@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·8 months agoThey also taste fishy to me, but much more acidic 😆 And I haven’t yet mastered getting into them; it’s not unusual for me to injure myself when I try🫣 I file them under “not worth the effort” 😮💨
