Do you like lemon and/or lemon zest?

To my taste buds it always over-dominates the flavor of a dish.

It's OK in marinades or in cakes/pies or to add a tang to water or tea.

Never made sense over fish to me either.

You?

Love it. Never noticed it overly dominating anything.

You should use lemon in a way that's the exact opposite of your lard habit:
In moderation.

I really like the addition of lemon & lemon zest to soups, pastas, sauces.
But for some reason - dislike lemon with fish or tea.

Since being Greek lemon was/is a normal table condiment.

If you find lemon "overpowering" then you must have an overabundant supply of
sour sensors in your mouth.

Ergo I have come to the conclusion that you must be one of those people one
would call a, well, Sourpuss..

I use lemon in a lot of things. My marinates for pork, lamb, chicken and
shrimp are based on olive oil and lemon juice. I like it sprinkled on
fish and on schnitzel. I like to add a few drops of lemon juice to sautéed
mushrooms. I like soda water with a slice of lemon in it. I like lemon
meringue pie.

I suspect it's just a matter of taste. I like lemon on most fish
but "De Gustibus non est Disputandum!". Actually lemon juice
sometimes has other uses in that it removes slight "fishy" odors
from canned tuna. It's not a bad idea to pour a little onto the
fish and let it drain before making tuna salad.

Haha, that's funny. I love lemon in most things. Not all, for instance
someone I know decided to make a tomato sauce for pasta that
called for lemon. Didn't sound good to me, and it wasn't.

I love lemon desserts. I love lemon & chicken, and I dislike
fruit with meat for the most part. I love lemonade. Italian ice?
Give me the lemon.

And if you put it together with garlic! now you're tawkin.

James,

That sounds about strange enough to give it a try!

Thanks,

Lemon is easy to overdo but very versatile if you are cautious. To the
above list I'll add replacing vinegar with lemon juice in salad dressing
and squeezing the juice on a thick steak (I learned that one in
Tuscany).

I have fond memories of being in Sicily when the lemons were ripe, the
island is awash with lemons, they were giving them away at the market.

I imagine that must've smelled intoxicating!!!

I recall orange groves in bloom and was shocked by the overpowering aroma!

I can imagine, though my trip across northern Italy left me unimpressed. It
was the only country in western Europe I have no interest in returning to.
I was only there for a few days and had no meals that stunned me.

I make a lot of Greek salads in the summer, slices of onion and tomato,
green peppers and cucumber with Kalamata olives and lots of feta. I add a
little salt, pepper and marjaram and then drizzle some olive oil over the
top and then squeeze some lemon juice over it.

I generally squeeze lemon over fish. I grew up doing that. I love lemon
squeezed in iced tea. I hate lemon squeezed in ginger ale, but lime is
perfect for me squeezed ginger ale.
Overall, I'd miss lemons if they ceased to exist.

I like it in cake, tea, and to put a tang in soups or stew.

There are two ways of not appreciating scotch, one is to not appreciate
it and the other is to prefer it with lemon.

I love lemon and use it in a *lot* of my cooking. Also squeeze it over
seafood and other foods. I really wish I had a lemon tree in my yard.

Haha. No. I remember lots of strawberry shampoos. I was
going to say keep away from me with fruit scented shampoos
when I realized I use Aromatherapy shampoo from Bath & Body
Works ... Orange Ginger.

So I guess my hair smells like Chinese takeout. (laugh)

Relaxation. It was the hotel shampoo at Marriott in Las Vegas,
I tried it and I loved it. Now I buy it, or just steal it when I stay
at a Marriott. Amazing how long those little bottles last.
