sortius :Fire_Bisexual:Upon doing a bit of research with the kids, we found out that life didn't give us lemons, we crossed the citron and bitter orange to make them!
We literally made lemons and haven't stopped complaining since

Sarah@sortius@infosec.exchange @skinnylatte@hachyderm.io I'd like to file a complaint about the name, in quite a few languages citron is lemon and English citron is something else
mossman@xgebi@hachyderm.io @sortius@infosec.exchange @skinnylatte@hachyderm.io uhhh... what is citron in English then? I only know it as lemon. (I am English origin and lived 15 years in Netherlands (citroen) and 9 in France (citron).)
mossman@xgebi@hachyderm.io @sortius@infosec.exchange @skinnylatte@hachyderm.io or are you thinking of a lime (citron vert)?

I have heard of cedrat in France, I also spend a lot of time in South East Asia where I enjoy the preserved rind of "Bhudda's hand" ... also a type of cedrat.
Yet in all my years in all my countries of residence, I have never seen those referred to as citron!
(just suprised, not disputing it)
mossman@sortius@infosec.exchange @xgebi@hachyderm.io @skinnylatte@hachyderm.io okay, I just pulled out the current jar of preserved Bhudda's hand rind and the stuck-on translation of the Chinese label has "fingered citron" on the ingredients. I live and learn...
sortius :Fire_Bisexual:@mossman@social.vivaldi.net @xgebi@hachyderm.io @skinnylatte@hachyderm.io yeh, I grew up in places like Cambodia, so citron was used a lot in meals.
Abalone steamed with citron is sublime. It's closer in flavour to lemongrass than lemon, very delicate, kind of like a makrut lime's flesh
