    Lychees 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.

      Rambutan have a fishy taste to me. But longan might give the lychee a run for their money 😋

        That’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!

          They 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” 😮‍💨
