How do you choose a good

[little human]

lemon??.........

[Fret Wizard]

The same way you choose a good orange, or any citrus fruit, I beleive. Just make sure it's not too soft.

And I believe the ones with the thin skin are better than the thick skinned ones...thin skinned and not too hard.

FF, do you use them as garnish or for flavor?

[Femme Fatale]

Mostly flavour and occasionally garnish.

[Chaltahai]

That's great FF. SOmetimes you have to squeeze a little harder for the thick skinned ones but I am sure they are just as flavorful

[Femme Fatale]

With my delicate wrists I'm not sure if I can accomplish all the necessary squeezing. Besides I find the thin-skinned ones more juicy. The thick-skinned ones take too much time and effort.

[Chaltahai]

FF: there in lies the rub.

[Femme Fatale]

Yes rubbing does the trick...sort of...esp if you roll it against a hard surface. Makes the lemon softer and easier to squeeze.

Chaltahai and Femme, why do I get the feeling that you guys are no more talking about lemons but instead peaches?

[Femme Fatale]

You get all the wrong feelings that ever existed Roman. Did you sniff your way in here? I am still talking about lemons and limes.

...not much of an advice.........surely you don't choose a fruit that's soft..i mean too soft.....while we are at it.....please can you tell me how too choose a good orange too?

Irem I know you'd give me free advice if I was asking about how to choose a good spouse....

Femme Fatale hmmmmm....thanks.....but it's just the opposite that I heard of regarding oranges.....the woman in the supermarket are always choosing the thick skinned ones....

Thanks everyone for your advice....
