Lemon or Lime?

[JSngry]

Make mine lime!

[Big Al]

I mean, really, why would you put lemon in your beer?

[Peter Johnson]

Lime, no question.

Although a Meyers Lemon could get me to stray...

[Dan Gould]

I went with lime, though with diet coke I'll take either.

Anyone else suck on the lemon after you've finished the soda? My wife gives me weird faces when I do it, but I don't care. Me likey!

Lemon in most things other than pie reminds me too much of Lemon Pledge.

I mean, really, why would you put lemon in your beer?

because you can't drink a Schneiders Weisse without a slice of lemon, that's why

[sidewinder]

Lemon. It's invaluable when cooking fish and a G&T wouldn't be the same without it !

[Brandon Burke]

Living in Austin for two years turned me into a lime man. Now I find it's almost impossible to cook without it. Especially whitefish like tilapia...

[sidewinder]

What's a tilapia? Us coastal types are more familiar with things like cod and halibut..

[JSngry]

First time I ran across tilapia was in a "New Asian" seafood restaurant where the chef was a Japanese-American dude in his mid-20s and waiter was an old cat with a thick Cajun accent. The waiter says, "Tilapia is what we hyah like to call an opp-o-tun-is-tic fish, which means that when we have an oppuhtunity to soive it, we do so. Now, Chef Andy's gonna do that piece of fish up right for y'all..." etc. etc. etc. Only in Texas, right?

Well, Buster (that's what I think his name was, really) told no lies. That was a damn good piece of fish, and I've been opportunisticizing with tilapia ever since.

[Jazz Kat]

LIME all da TIME!

[JSngry]

Behold the opportunistic tilapia!

[JSngry]

9-3, lime.

Has lemon passed its prime?

[Cali]

Make mine lime!

Do you mean make Mime lime?

[Brandon Burke]

Tilapia is a very mild white fish. Good to serve if your dinner guest(s) are still on the fence about fish. Also, because it's mild, I don't mind doctoring it up.

Lately I've been letting it sit in the following for an hour or so before cooking:

(1) olive oil

(2) juice of two limes

(3) finely chopped garlic

(4) finely chopped jalapeno

(5) cracked pepper

(6) fresh cilantro

(7) paprika

[7/4]

lime and water for me.

[catesta]

If I had to choose one, it would be lemon.

I don't like lime in my beer, Mexican or otherwise, but I do like lemon in iced tea, squeezed on fish, veal, and of course when making LEMONade!

Now, when it comes to a cocktail, like a Vodka or Gin and tonic, no question, for me,lime is king. But, a lemon can and does work as a substitute.

Lime is the new lemon....

[Jazz Kat]

lemons are not the way to go

[sheldonm]

...both for me!

[Jazz Kat]

This has been pretty vague.

[Soulstation1]

anyone ever have shrimp cocktail and lime.....

[Jazz Kat]

yes~!

[Johnny E]

Anyone ever drink Limeade? Doesn't quite cut it. How about using Lime zest in your recipes? I don't think so. How about Lime Marang Pie? Blind Lime Jefferson? Nuff said.
