Lychee! Addendum

Perhaps I spoke too soon! Today we checked another fruit stand and found two completely different varieties of lychee...


The species on the left is unknown, though the spiked skin is very reminiscent of a species called "osmanthus taste". The one on the right was labeled "rice lychee" (which is rather oxymoronic, given how huge they are). Both were quite sweet and neither were as earthy as last night's Species B. The "rice" meat wasn't as firm as the osmanthus-like meat, but that could have more to do with ripeness than the species.

Lychee is typically sold in big bunches, like this...

...and, because they are ball-shaped, Fui Fui goes crazy for them...
