I love limes better than lemons. Funny, in Mexico, they call it backwards. LIMON is what we call a LIME and LIMA is what they call a LEMON. I Mexico, they kind of like the LEMON better than the LIME. I like the bitter flavor of lime. I squeeze them into a coke or a beer. I use them to clean my fingers and hands after eating seafood. It really neutralizes the fishy flavor. I use them for hicups. I use them in tea. I use them in Mexican food on the chips and salsa, use them on tortilla soup. Nothing like a nice bag of limes. In Mexico, they sell for very cheap. They are abundunt in the trees. In fact, I've seen lime trees growing in the wild on Central American beaches. I've picked lime trees. I think LIMES are definately one of earths great deals. Lot of bang for the penny or two. (In Mexico but who knows what they go for lately?) If you ever go to CANCUN or anywhere in the Yucatan, be sure to order a SOPA DE LIMA. To me, its just a tortilla soup really, but they like to throw a slice of LEMON (Not lime) in the middle of the soup. For me, I'll just squeeze a half lime and throw the squeezed portion in the soup. There is nothing like a LIME.
