Last week hubby took out a citrus fruit from the fridge, peeled it, and was eating slices of it.
He thought it was some kind of orange and couldn't understand why it was pretty sour.
I told him to give me a slice so I can try it.
I ate one and thought it was a meyer lemon.
I looked in the fridge to see if there were two of them there or just one.
There was only one.
This confirmed that it was indeed a meyer lemon that hubby was eating.
Weird that he thought it was an orange when a meyer lemon is not round.

@porwest Fruits has lots of carbs, no? I am not a huge fruit eater but I enjoy them. Not all fruits though. I am not a fan of fresh apricots but I eat the dried ones. 
And I will eat apricot jam. Or a pastry with fresh apricots in it.

I am not a fan of (regular) oranges either but I love minneolas and cara cara can be good too.

@lovebuglena Oranges just make me ill. Don't like the taste of them, nor the smell of them. But then, I do not really like any fruit at all.

We have a meyer lemon tree! The lemons can be roundish, but ours are smaller than oranges. I believe it is a cross between lemon and mandarin orange. They aren't as puckery sour like regular lemons, but to me they're not sweet at all like oranges. Interesting he ate it like that . . . I never have (I definitely would have noticed it was not an orange).

@lovebuglena When our lemons get older, they get slightly orange, but they never get very orange. Maybe your New York Meyers are different .

He never did that before. He just mistook it for an orange as the skin is an orange color.

Not myself personally, but my nephew has eaten one before. He liked it too which I couldn't begin to understand.

It's not as sour as a regular lemon.

@lovebuglena Ah, it isn't? It's been ages since I've had a reason to use lemons. I usually go with limes.

@lovebuglena They do, also the citrus are dangerous, but lemons a lot more, the mix of acidity and sugar.

I didn't know lemons can do that to teeth.

I ate a few slices but I wouldn't eat the whole thing in one shot though.
