i love lychees
lychees - i can't get enough of them! and the good news for me is that this tropical fruit is easily available in london all year round, i think. the peak season is not till june/july but they seem to be in the market already. i don't think i ever saw lychees in any of the grocery stores in new york, not even wholefoods. i had to get canned lychees from kalustyans to satisfy my cravings.
i like being pure when it comes to lychees. sometimes i'll indulge in a lychee martini at a restaurant like nobu or lychee with vanilla icecream after a indian chinese meal but most of the time i totally love peeling the rough skin and eating the sweet flesh with my hands. so delcious!

i love leechys too.its sweet fragrance and flavour makes it irresistable.my visit to a chinese restaurant is incomplete without having a lychee icecream.though i have not tasted a lychee martini,i am sure it must be heavenly.'funkin' in the usa make and market lychee purees.i wonder whether they are available in uk.also being a seasonal fruit,it is not easy to get.i have an alternative in the form of bottled lychee which i normally buy and keep in stock.lulu,visit lycheesonline.com.you will love it.
me too, i'm looking forward to having lots now that summer's here!
They pronounce it liechees, here in Swansea!
sabiha, you are so right. they are called liechees here in london but i can't get around to saying them that way. h complains that i have a very weird combo or indian, american and british english!
Where abouts in London do you find them? I struggle to find them anywhere and i have a real craving!
