Any ideas?
I believe Krabi Town is in Thailand.
Pretty sure the answer is in the comments - they’re Lychees.
Thanks, I missed that last comment somehow. Though googling “lychee” images, the pics don’t show the “ass” construct. Maybe the one in question was a mutant or an unusual variety?
Some people have accused the peach of looking like an ass with a stick coming out of it.
The skin of that looks like litchi, but litchis are usually white inside and not … lobed. I’m not sure what that is.
Ah, got it. It’s sala. That picture makes it look round instead of oblong.
Lychee isn’t all that great.
ETA: Salacca - Wikipedia
For reference, the Gaffney, SC water tower in the form of a peach.
Great tasting fruit. Crunchy, sweet. Had them in Indonesia. They are actually a fruit from a palm tree with absolutely vicious thorns. Harvesting the fruit is a real nightmare.
Salak, aka “snakeskin fruit”. The Balinese variety is one of my favorite fruits in the world.
Cool - thanks!
And yeah - used to live in Charlotte, NC, where the Gaffney Peachoid was the subject of much mirth :D.
Whereas my absolute favourite ass looking fruit is… the mangosteen. Nectar of the gods.
Something makes me think you may share my opinion? ![]()
Those are indeed sala and not lychees. Don’t know if there’s an English word for sala; the wife can’t think of one either.
