Have you tasted this?

I have never seen, smelled, or tasted one, but I have heard of them. After reading Heather's Wikipedia re-post, I'll happily pass. Used surgical swabs...ewwww!

Blehhhh. Give me mangosteens anyday!

I have an American soldier friend who has four sons under 7. He and three of the boys love the stuff, his wife and 1 boy don't! But Lili is right, most Westerners hate it. To me it smells like sweaty socks, something rotten and yucky drains and tastes the same.

it's really funny that Westerners finds it smelly but not for Asians..(not all Asians though!!)

I was given a huge bag of rambutans and longans today! Yumm, but there are so many I'm not sure if we will eat them all. I might have to search for some recipes.
