lemon meringue pie - do you need the rind?

Good. Thanks. I wonder how lemons are prewashed at my local cocktail lounge??? [will that be with a twist of wax?]

I've never seen a bartender wash a lemon. Including me.

Carnuba wax is used on lots of foods... Jelly beans, for example, shine because they are all coated with it. It is edible and virtually tasteless, and is a finish protector or sealer, if you will. Don't bother scrubbing, and simply ignore that it has been used. Its been used since the beginning of last century, at a minimum, and we are still ingesting...

FWIW

Countering: To say that it has been used for the last century does not mean that it has caused no bodily harm. Until studies are done on each and every product that people in good faith say that causes no harm, it's impossible to say with certainty. FWIW Dee Dee

Carnauba Carnuba Canauba Canuba Let's call the whole thing off!

The first is correct, and there are SIX different pronunciations! Graham

Agreed, Dee. However, think of all the M'nMs eaten!

Interesting - used on/in coffee - wonder what's that's all about. Dee Dee

That is true of every single thing you eat. You're going to get awfully hungry if you wait until all those tests have been completed.

I use common sense and eat food like everyone else. Wax was the topic of consideration I was addressing. Wax, wax, wax (:-))Dee Dee

Graham,

Please quote in the right way!! You unnecessary quote a large message and answer with 3 rules only.

Carley.

And you did not quote anything from a thread that started almost a month ago and a message that was posted 2 weeks ago.

Did you have a comment to make about the subject?

Actually, the part that you want most (aside from the wax) is just the outer layer called the zest. 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.
