I live in Toronto Canada, and we have a very large Chinese, Vietnamese and Asian population, so we get fresh ones in twice a year from Taiwan and South East Asia. I have almost gone down on my fanny several times, they seem to like to buy them, spit the seeds on the sidewalk and then you are taking your life in your own hands.
I love them, the fresh are the best, and logans, a smaller version, with a yellowy brown skin, even the tinned ones are nice, they are better for sweet and sour dishes when the fresh are not in season, if you can try them or the ones from Indonesia, they look like a hairy reddish oval shaped lichee, the rambutan is a treat to try them all you will be pleasantly surprise, they sell them buy the pound so get a couple and enjoy.

Yes especially the Emperor litchi from China. It tasted great and smell good.
Or you can try canned litchi. The recommended recipe is litchi smoothies...

I've eaten them! 'Lychee' and 'litchi' are just alternative spellings - it's not an "English" fruit, so it doesn't really have a proper English name, just an attempt at spelling the Chinese name! They're VERY nice..!!

Yes! I love lychees. To me the taste and texture is something like a cross between a grape and a kiwi, but not really like either one. They are best when they are chilled. Yumm!

Had a big tree in my back yard as a kid.
Every season, climbed it and got the best ones,
most of the time the birds beat me to it though.
And it's spelled Lychee.
