Odd food no. 2

For the first time ever, I ate a lichi yesterday. It was really good. The best way I can describe the texture and flavor is a mix between a grape and an onion. I know it sounds gross, but it´s not. The peel is bright pink, the color of a raspberry, but looks a lot like the bud from a dog wood tree. You tear it off and a soft, juicy, white fruit is inside. It´s shaped like a tiny pumpkin, but feels like the inside of a grape. It´s very sweet with a bit of bitterness. I´m not sure if we have them in the states, but check them out if you can, like at Zupans or something.
