Limes, what limes

Contrary to what these citruses may look like, they are not limes but lemons that are found in these parts of Sicily. Although this lovely island in the sun has the best citruses anywhere, it doesn't produce limes. It's not that the land is not suitable, it's that people do not go for that limey taste, pun intended. So these summer lemons, so to speak, are full of juice and have a superb fragrance.Also, they were just picked. I only use oil and lemon juice as vinegar wilts the vegetables and adds a strong flavor. As for Balsamic vinegar, I simply do not like it at all. Too yuppy, too Tuscan and too full of itself.
