Could It Be? A Positive ID?

Remember this fruit, the one no one can identify?

My father suspects it might be a lychee.  It may be, although so far the kinds I’ve seen have had longer, hookier protrusions from their outer “shells,” and the seed inside the one I ate was light brown, sort of like a long, thin almond.

Apparently it’s not a chestnut either way, though, so at least one point’s settled!
