    Nice restaurant food, but I guess that doesn’t count.

    Lychees. The funny thing is that I can afford lychees, but I always think “Why buy them when these perfectly good grapes cost three times less?”

      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” 😮‍💨
