So what IS this fruit? Looks like ass dressed as strawberry

Imgur

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? :wink:

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.
