This is a Canadian produced TV show from The Food Network. This episode is all about limes.

I dedicate this post to all you citraholics

Watching that video makes real pleasure, I can almost feel the taste of those fruits.
Great video, Thanks gregn!

Ivica, after watching the video i had an urge to get a Mexican beer and squeeze fresh lime into the beer. Actually fresh squeezed lime in any beer tastes refreshing. Lime in beer is common practice in Mexico.

I was surprised they considered calamondin a lime...maybe because it has some of the same uses??? Seems like a great show, I'll watch some more episodes online.
Thanks Greg,
Greg

Cal's are also called the Philippine lime...

Quote:

Philippine Lime Introduced to Florida around the turn of the century, the Philippine lime tree, also known as kalamansi or calamondin, grows wild in China, Indonesia and the Philippines. This tree produces small, bright orange, juicy citrus fruits similar to mandarins. This highly acidic fruit has nine segments and a particularly thin peel. The Philippine lime tree will grow between 6 1/2 and 25 feet high, according to Purdue University. This tree will grow in USDA zones 10 and 11.

Greg M, I was surprised about the Calamondin being classified as a lime too Calamondins are moderately cold hardy - limes are generally not. I should pose that question to Joe Real. There is another show in the series on oranges - though I haven't seen that episode - yet. It makes me want to go on a "citrus tour" of California

Cheers, Greg
