Arielle and Gamera - look out!

Megumi and I ate at a nice Japanese lunch buffet where she introduced me to the tropical Chinese fruit Lychee for dessert.  The outside of it reminded me more of a nut than a fruit, but it peeled off easily to reveal a white fruity flesh.  The closest taste comparison I can think of is a cross between a grape and a pear.  It might be one of those things that just tastes uniquely like itself, though.  Inside, there is a nut-like seed, so I'm very thankful Megumi was there to teach me how to eat the fruit (and not the seed.)  Now that I know my way around it, I'd definitely have a lychee again.
