[Sca-cooks] Lemons? Limes? Confusion?

[Robin Carroll-Mann]

I found an article online which will be of interest to those who are following this topic.

"The introduction of cultivated citrus to Europe via northern Africa and the Iberian Peninsula"

FWIW, I don't recall seeing any recipes for limes in the late-period Spanish cookbooks. That doesn't mean that there aren't any; lime trees are mentioned in Herrera's 16th c. agricultural manual.
