Lemon or lime?

If you could live with only one for the rest of your life, which would it be and why?

Sprite

As of right now, it looks like a tie. If I were to vote, I would have to say lemon, as it seems a bit more versatile, though I do love a nice squeeze of lime in my water in the mornings. I sometimes crave the acidity. Perhaps my body's pH is off?

Though I'd certainly miss lemon, I use lime far more often.

 

[ehkay]

Did you go foraging again, bro?

 

[mgm9128]

Not lately. In the next few weeks I will check my spot.

Not a real big fan of lemon. Lime all the way.

I foolishly selected lime because it's used often in food (ceviche) and cocktails. Of course I forgot lemon is pretty common in grilling, roasting, and marinating and is crucial to my martinis (stirred with a twist). FML.

Lemon. It's a tough call, but I use lemon a bit more in cocktails (sidecar, aviation, etc.), love lemonade and probably use lemon slightly more in cooking. It would really suck to have to give one up, though.

BTW - I give the label "kaffir lime" ten more years, tops, until it goes the way of "jewfish", "oriental", etc....

I actually had a black guy ask my what the hell that was.

I have to go with lemon. It's weird, but I could eat those like other people eat oranges.

 

[mgm9128]

That is pretty weird.
