Lemons & Limes

Postby chefsarehardcore » Tue May 26, 2009 4:17 pm

I love telling young chefs and waiters and those daft enough to listen, that limes are baby lemons !
If they dont beleave me i tell them look at the bit of green on that lemon !

then get them with the truth...limes are yellow when they fully ripen on the tree, they are only green as a marketing tool for the fruit to differentiate them from lemons. That said, i've seen many green lemons in the supermarkets!!

I once convinced a new waitress that there fridge had secret security buttons in the four corners of the door by shutting it and her not being able to open it until i had pressed all four corners of the door (it was actually the rubber seal on the door that stopped it opening for 2-3 seconds obviously but she did not know that) It was weeks before anyone told her as it was just so funny watching her do it even when she was in a hurry.

HAd a commis chef (some years ago now), asked him to go to the local shop and pick up some lemons for service.

He returned with oranges. Asked him why he'd bought back oranges and he said.....

"They're not oranges, they're special lemons, the man in the shop told me."

I wish I was kidding.

Reminds me..years ago sent a chef across the road to get some oranges from local shop.He carried them in his apron(like you do)..had to tell him as he entered the kitchen his cock was hanging out of his open fly as he was going commando! His face as he realised he just walked across the main high street on a Saturday lunchtime with his cock out
