First of all, thanks for providing the "printer friendly" link. All on one page is awesome.

I was just looking at Meyer lemons the other day at the downtown Sobeys. I noticed they carried them so I spent a bit of time reading the info on the netting-bag about them. Like any other "exotic" fruit they're more expensive and are sold in smaller volume. They smelled really nice though. Kind of like a sweeter more flowery lemon.

I highly recommend kumquats. They make an excellent garnish thanks to their appealing looks and explosion of flavour.

It's an amazing thing that every day in grocery stores we can have such a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables open to us. I have my own little favourites like moro blood oranges and grapples. Delicious!
