Gasp! My first reaction because, 1. Its a Durian, 2. The price. Then I thought if you knew what I spend on collecting rare porcelains and Chinese Export silver, that is a great price for something you love!

Spent $20 on 9 sumo mandarins yesterday. 3.99/lb. I was just glad to see that the store had a new shipment. I am hooked.

Today I started out eating some of my favorites, longan and custard apple. There is an early season longan in Viet Nam that’s particularly fragrant and juicy. I haven’t seen it available in the US. The only fault is a large seed, but no one here seems to care. It still costs a comparative premium at the market. Many more fruit to come on this vacation.

I picked another dozen methleys today. Mostly sweet, very soft juicy texture. Brix was 17. As you can see they are very small. Look very similar in size and appearance to the Verry Cherry cherry-plums I buy ever year. At times I think they had a concord grape flavor.
Kids demolished them.

Yes, Methley definitely has a grape-like flavor to it.

Litchi!
First time trying these and I loved them. Even though they resemble an eyeball when you open them up.
Made a cake with nectarine, pluot, and sweet cherries. I love stone fruit season aka summer.

Unless there are cultivars I don’t know, and that’s a good possibility, I think your lychee is not ripe. They’re supposed to be red!

Really? The inside was white with a slight pink blush. It tasted good! Was from the asian market. I admittedly have no idea but I liked it either way. 
Will they ripen on the counter? I have one left!

My wife is from the Philippines where these fruits are common. I just asked her and she agrees with me. I’m sure it’s fine green. Lychee’s one of my wife’s favorites but I find it to be too simple of a flavor.
Have you tried jackfruit? That’s a really good one that used to be very uncommon here that I’m seeing in some non-ethnic grocery stores now. It’s best if you can select one that’s been cut open for you. You want to see a good dark yellow color and be able to smell the aroma, which is very floral. Juicy fruit gum is supposed to taste like jackfruit, so you have an idea about the taste.
