A friend of DH's owned, maybe stil does, a lychee farm in Florida. At that
time I tried some store-bought lychees and some canned lychees, but the
texture was not to my liking in each case. It may be one of those fruits
that people like when they've been accustomed to it.

Oh, oh, not liking Monty Python? not liking the song, "I like Chinese"? not
liking light cheese on take out?
(My favorite of the songs is the "Galaxy Song." Makes me sooo happy!)
