There was a lychee eathing contest yesterday at Kala and KD's place. Awesome. Before we even went, I decided not to partake in the contest, mostly because I'm still getting used to lychees (Leechees? Litchies? Whatever you call them.) and the weird taste they have. I don't particulary like them, they almost have no flavour, but I also don't hate them, they're kinda addictive.
Ishaan and I hitched a ride to Kala's house with Sri Balaram and Balaram Priya on their bike (weeehooo motorobikes are aweseome!). We arrived and there were a few people there already. The idea was that you had to peel and eat as many lychees as you could in 5 minutes. And at the end whoever had the most pips (clean pips, with no lychee left on them!) was the winnder.
There were 5 people in the first round, and the winner had something like 35 in 5 minutes. Legendary. Another round saw the same winner, who downed 72 in 10 minutes. I'm suprised he didn't puke them up after.
I sat and enjoyed my lychees as a pleasant pace...
Someone gave me their flash camera to take photos of the contest so here's a few snaps from the day.
