This one you bite off chunks of, chew them and suck the juice out and then spit out whatever is left. You end up with something that has the ropey quality of celery, but is more like cardboard or wood (imagine that). The juice is sweet and tasty.
This one you apparently don't have to slice, the outside peels off easier than an orange and all in one piece. The clearish inside is kind of slimy and chewy. It's sour and has the consistency of a softer fruit snack. The greenish pit you spit out and don't eat.
I think that red thing is a lychee. Blue Wasabi uses them in one of their martinis. :)
ReplyDeleteAh, good lead! From there I was able to find out they're actually rambutan, closely related to lychee.
