lemon meringue pie - do you need the rind?
What is the reason for grating the lemon rind to make the pie filling?
Do you have to do that? I have a whole bottle of lemon juice. I'd rather use that than buy some lemons. |

If you're using bottled lemon juice, you'll want the zest flavor more than ever. And make sure you only grate the yellow part, none of the white. nancy |

I would never even consider making a Lemon Meringue Pie without fresh lemons, both for juice and zest. Bottled juice just isn't the same, and the rind release essential oils that contribute greatly to the flavor.

That's true... if you're not going to use real lemons may as well serve lemon jello with cool whip. Sheldon |

You know, I like that. CCAC is sorta like the noise I make when I taste the stuff. We could warn people about dishes with cilantro, point them out in our weekly newsletter, Soap Dish. The guacamole at Jose's? Warning, it's a Soap Dish. Like that. nancy |

My father in law was easy to please when it came to dessert. The only things he really liked were ice cream and chocolate sauce or apple pie (warm) with ice cream. I heard many times about the time they had dinner at a friend's house and the wife served lemon meringue pie. He didn't like it, but trying to be a good guest he raved about it. Bad move. Because he had raved about it so much she served it every time they ate there. |

See there, I'm learning again.:-) -- Lefty > > You would grind in Zest soap only if you need a substitute for > coriander/cilantro <g> Exactly. It's a genetic thing and not simply an opinion. A significant percentage of the world's population tastes cilantro as "soapy," me among them. People tell me to keep trying it so that it won't taste so bad in the future. My attitude is "I don't like it. Why would I force myself to eat something that tastes really bad to me? So it tastes *less* bad? Excuse me...?" A couple drops of dish detergent or hand cleaner will work as well if you don't have bar soap in the house. As for the pie, you want the lemon oil that lives in the zest. It adds depth to the lemon flavor. Pastorio |

Finely grated rind is essential for a good lemon pie. That bottled lemon juice is just nasty stuff...almost as yucky as cilantro. Nancy T |
lemon meringue pie - do you need the rind?
Thank goodness for some common sense. I thought I was living in a parallel
universe to hear about people making lemon meringue pie with lemon juice out of a bottle and others buying lemon oil to make it taste like lemon. Funnily enough, if I want something to taste like lemon I use lemons. I was beginning to think that sort of rationale had gone out with the ark until I read your post. It has restored my faith in lemon meringue pie lovers.

You won't find me using it in my own cooking...soap is soap and does not belong in food, thanks very much. I have aquired a taste for certain foods as an adult that I hated as a child. Love mushrooms now, and although they still taste the same as they did when I was a kid, I've developed an appreciation of them. Sandy |

I dimly recall some orange-flavored drink commercials years ago that boasted that their part-juice tasted better than plain orange juice because it was loaded with "flavor enhancers." Like a reviewer once said about McDonald's milkshakes, "Taste better than the real thing." Ya gotta wonder if everybody in the production and promotion lines believe that stuff. Pastorio |

I've not eaten my share of M&M's, but I did stop chewing gum years ago when I got terribly allergic to a certain brand, won't name it -- big sores! And stopped using make-up years ago.

Just the yellow part contains essential oils that will make your pie taste better. Lemon juice is okay, but the zest is the best part. The white layer under the yellow is not needed, and can sometimes be bitter, and not a good bitter. |
