Topic: I love lemons and I'm not sure why.

I can eat them like oranges. I love putting lemon juice on and in everything. Fish, shrimp, pretty much any seafood, tea, water, alcoholic beverages, etc. I love making extra strong lemonade, and I buy the things by the dozen. I dunno why I love them so much.
It might have something to do with my childhood. My parents told me that as an infant/toddler I once grabbed lemons off the table and started eating them and instead of being shocked I actually like them. I guess it only got worse from there. What do you think? Anyone else here have any weird food cravings?

Well, they do provide a very sharp, tasty flavor. Most good chefs put some lemon juice in just about everything. Just as salt "warms" flavors, lemons "brighten" flavors.

I agree with you Bros. I couldn't eat them like you but I love lemon juice on just about everything.

I enjoy popcorn dipped in ketchup, raw spinach on top of cooked pizza, Peanut butter and bacon sandwiches or fudge, I also like black pepper on everything. There are more, but that's all that I can recall for the moment.

> Peanut butter and bacon sandwiches
For some reason, that sounds like it could work.

Another thing I like is dried fruit [raisons or sultanas] sprinkled on food including meat dishes.

Our housekeeper has been adding fruit to our meals since before I can remember, She is Kenyan but I think she was brought up in the Colonial tradition.

Roasted lemons are good too. Anyone here have any good lemon recipes that I should know about?

Well, adding fruit to meats is also an African tradition. That is really cool!

Everyone doesn't have to talk about lemons! What are some other strong cravings you might have?

Yes though it's a bit working class. [ Thats sounds awful.] In more refined circles it is usually refered to as the Sweet

I ask because of this. At a restaurant I used to manage, a large group of French people came in two nights in a row. It was some sort of student tour of Louisiana. Anyway, although I speak French, she chose English, so I obliged the guest. The second night, she asked a waitress, "Would it be possible to try another pudding tonight?" The waitress was confused lol but I figured it out: she had learned English in England, and was simply referring to Sweets.

I love peaches. I think its from my early childhood of playing Crash bandicoot so much. I had this obsession for peach gummies around a month ago :3
I love peaches, peach juice, the color, the fruit... :D :D

My brother's old restaurant added lemon pepper/grass to most of their dishes. It worked wonders.

I actually just ate a lemon and a lime with salt. Maybe a half hour ago. Favorite snack. :3
