Ok then, I've got a tin of lychees in light syrup, BBE May '08. I think they were given to me - I'm not sure I've ever eaten a lychee before, so have absolutely no idea what to do with them.

I do know I'm sick of looking at them though.....what can I make?

Hi Mr BE,

This thread might give you some ideas: Lychees

Is there such a thing as a recipe calculator thingy, that you can put in what you have left in the fridge/cupboard and it tells you what you can make.
