Re: chinese fruit

To me, both Longan and Lychee, have "different" flavors compared to other  
fruits.  Both look similar when peeled though,  the skin is a tough  leathery 
like peel that is inedible.  I personally prefer the taste of  Longan to Lychee, 
but that is a personal preference.  Jim can surely be  more specific about 
describing flavors.  Here is a website that has great  information on _Fruits of 
Warm  Climates_ (http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/index.html)   :

Yup, it  was peeled, Noreen.  Does the longan have a very unusual flavor for
a  fruit?  There are no hints of red or bumps.  Thanks for the  possibility.
I'll check that out!
