Until I was in India, I used to call this fruit Lichi, as in lee-chee. Looks like the rest of the world calls them Lychee, as in lie-chee. Have to say the latter sounds better to me. Lichi sounds like, I don't know, leeches?
Anyway, there's no point to this post except that I wanted to share that we are getting super fresh lychees from China these days and they don't cost an arm and a less. The fruits are very refreshing and a welcome change from the super sweetened canned versions we see more often. Its a pain getting the seed in your mouth while eating but hey, small price for the fresh deliciousness.
So, how do you call this fruit? Lichi or Lychee?
