Yikes, we sure don't call them regular limes up here! Key limes are tiny and time consuming and have a totally different flavour. Plus due to their thin, often tarnished skin they make for lousy garnish. But I do suggest trying them if you can get them! To me they're only available in bags of 20 or so, therefore I only use them when I have a special recipe in mind. Regular limes are big and juicy and 4 fer $1.

Do you really think the flavour is superior? I think a comparison is in order.
to the research lab!

Wahine, check out this link: http://www.foodreference.com/html/artkeylimes.html and this post. Personally, I find they have more zip and a more clean flavor. That's an odd description, but the best I can come up with at the moment. I personally find that flavor (not flavour :wink:) to be superior. Do some taste testing and let us know what you think!

Sorry to derail this thread with a discussion of limes...
