Lemon or Lime?

[sidewinder]

Used a bit of the old lemon in the cooking tonight. Sea bass and Atlantic prawns marinated in garlic, lemon and white wine and cooked in a dill sauce. Served with rice and grilled tomatos.

When life gives you limes make limeade??? I don't think so. And if you wanted to sue a car dealership or manufacturer, would you want to do so under a Lime Law??? Good Luck.

[Big Al]

Anyone ever drink Limeade? Doesn't quite cut it.

Au contraire, mon frere!!!

[catesta]

I never though I'd live to see the day lime would become more popular than lemon.

It does if you get it from a good Vietnamese restaurant.

In fact, you pretty much can't make good Southeast Asian food without using limes. (full disclosure: I voted lemon.)

Lime. Because it just is. Alright.

[Jim Alfredson]

I made some tilapia just the other night. Very simple... some flour, some lemon, some capers, and salt and peppa!

Make mine lemon.

Simpler is often better with fish. The mackerel I made a while back had like 3 steps:

1. Season fish with salt.

2. Jam lemon and fresh oregano inside cavity and tie it all up with string.

3. Toss on cookie sheet and throw in oven.

Delicious with a sauce made from mixed olive oil and fresh lemon juice.

No, because a lime is a good thing!

Lime for Mexican food, lemon for most others.

Had Key Lime Chicken last night at a work function....it was one of the best things I've ever tasted....

I'll take Key Lime Pie over Lemon Meringue any day...

but it has to be Ketel One and tonic w/lemon...

and Stoli Lemon vodka w/iced tea makes a fabulous "Ice Pick"...

but what is a margarita w/o fresh squeezed lime?

I guess it's all about context.

How did a thread about nothing turn into two pages.

Love the stuff.

Best tilapia I ever had was at a place in San Diego and I can't remember the name.

If you ever want to try grilling it, I found this method/recipe to be a rather good one. Courtesy of the Food Network.

Season with a pinch of salt, paprika, cayenne, cumin, and a little pepper.

Coat with olive oil and grill 3-4 minutes each side.

I squeeze LEMON on it before serving. B-)

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.

On the other hand, no one I know would even consider serving Key Lemon Pie...

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

No offence intended to sidewinder, but if I’m in a bar and I order a G&T and it comes with a lemon, I know I’m dealing with a bartender who doesn’t know his/her stuff.

G&Ts are always to be served with lime.

(I have one in front of me now)

My martinis however I like with a twist of lemon peel.

[jlhoots]

Depends on what you're using it for.

I can't choose.

No, because a lime is a good thing!

Don't get technical.

[Jazz Kat]

Or you can have the collarboration, Lemon Meets Lime, on Food Note Records.

Why can't we all just get along...

after all Limon is the secret of Sprite!

[patricia]

I think that a wedge of lime with just about any white fish is much more interesting than the expected lemon.

I discovered lime chicken by accident, having no lemons, but luckily a couple of limes in the refridgerator. No, it didn't taste like lemon chicken. It tasted much better.

Keep on using lemons for lemonade, but give limes a chance. Live a little!!!

That's how. Times are changing!

Ain't it the truth! Lemon chicken tastes like.....lemon chicken. But this Key Lime Grilled Chicken was so fabulous and *different*.... I had visions of warm weather/sandy beaches/margaritas/gorgeous men, etc. It was *that* good.

Then I realized that if I'm on a beach in a bathing suit with gorgeous men I might not wanna be stuffing my face with yet another plate of Key Lime Chicken, so I put the fork down.
