The lychee

And so, here is what Matt has to say about it....

So... it can be a bit subjective in terms of taste, huh? That can be true, yes. The thing here is that the fruit can be quite like the little "down to Earth" to my taste buds. In terms of me having to enjoy the fruit, I'd rather use the knife, then peel since I have short fingernails. Yes, it is quite an interesting little package- would it be like a visual euphenism of a testicle?! () I would really feel that when I found it at the Asian market, it was a bunch of them in a sieve-like bag, and it costed US$3.99. Well, if it is going to be planted and can be regularly found in select areas of the United States and Central America, it can be one of the cheapest fruits you can get.

Would I recommend trying? It would depend on how your taste buds are. For me, I can guess my bitter area of my tongue got me to taste it at first and I feel that it is not completely delicious. As it is termed a "soapberry", I can feel that it is what I would taste when I have it for a few seconds in my mouth-a bit of tasting soap. It will still be there, but after a few moments, I do taste the complete sweet from lychee. I can agree with Matt, it can somewhat taste like a grape, but that bitter soapy-like taste that I would compare with perhaps NutraSweet(TM), I think I can have something a bit better than this... It does go down easily, and I like it, but not as much as other rare fruits that I have tasted. The benchmark here is me tasting durian, and I would rather have durian over lychee, but better than the other melons I have on this list but BARELY IF NOT WORSE than kiwano melon. It gets plus points because of the seeds that are in that melon:

9: Cherimoya
8: Dragonfruit
7: Papaya
6: Passion Fruit
5: Durian (very good!)

>>4: LYCHEE<<

(close to "MEH", but OK)
3: Kiwano melon (bit good)
2: Pepino melon (Bland)
1: QUINCE (RAW, BUT NEVER TASTED) (BAD!)

For this case, it is 5.25/6 as my rating. I think I have tasted the juice of litchi, but it was SOOOOOOO different from the actual fruit I ate, so there would be too much additives to the lichi juice for it to be drinkable to the outside world.

Anyway, if it is in a future art with Alfred eating these fruits, He would be having an inquizitive, but a little puzzled mind over this fruit, and he'd be eating it all the available soapberries only if he has no other choice but to sate his hunger.

PS: The next fruit is MANGOSTEEN! It's VERY expensive- US$4.99 for one of these small fruits!
