What Kind of Cheesecake Are You?

Recommended Posts

Cara the board is based in America and I'm sure many of these tests were written by Americans. No reason to roll your eyes. I don't know if key lime is popular anywhere else but yes it is popular in America

I got Key Lime. I've never had Key Lime, is it something American again? :o

 

Well you know, this board is based in America. The majority of members and visitors are from America and Star Trek is an American TV show, so why roll your eyes at something "American" on an Amreican board?

The Key lime (Citrus aurantiifolia (often abbreviated to: C. aurantiifolia), or Citrus x aurantiifolia (Christm.) Swingle), also known as the Mexican lime, West Indian lime or Bartender's lime, has a globose fruit, 2.5-5 cm in diameter (1-2 in), that is yellow when ripe but usually picked green commercially. It is smaller, seedier, has a higher acidity, a stronger aroma, and a thinner rind than that of the Persian lime (Citrus x latifolia). It is valued for its unique flavor compared to other limes, with the key lime usually having a more tart and bitter flavour. The name comes from its association with the Florida Keys, where it is best known as the flavouring ingredient in Key lime pie.

 

C. aurantiifolia is a shrubby tree , to 5 m (16 ft), with many thorns. Dwarf varieties are popular with home growers and can be grown indoors in winter in colder climates. The trunk rarely grows straight, with many branches that often originate quite far down on the trunk. The leaves are ovate 2.5–9 cm (1–3.5 in) long, resembling orange leaves (the scientific name aurantiifolia refers to this resemblance to the leaves of the orange, C. aurantium). The flowers are 2.5 cm (1 in) in diameter, are yellowish white with a light purple tinge on the margins. Flowers and fruit appear throughout the year but are most abundant from May to September [1] [2].

 

C. aurantiifolia is native to Southeast Asia. Its apparent path of introduction was through the Middle East to North Africa, thence to Sicily and Andalusia and via Spanish explorers to the West Indies, including the Florida Keys. From the Caribbean, lime cultivation spread to tropical and sub-tropical North America, including Mexico, Florida, and later California [3].

 

The English name "lime" was derived from the Persian name لیمو Limu in this course.[citation needed] "Key" would seem to have been added some time after the Persian lime cultivar gained prominence commercially in the United States following the hurricane of 1926, which destroyed the bulk of US C. aurantiifolia agriculture, leaving it to grow mostly casually in the Florida Keys [4] [5]. Since the North American Free Trade Agreement came into effect, many Key limes on the US market are grown in Mexico and Central America. They are also grown in Texas and California.

Rich and greedy, you're attracted to the dark side of life.

Nothing ever quite satisfies your inner beast. And somehow, people find that sexy.

Enthusiastic and intense, there's so much you love in the world... it's hard to do it all.

You are good at getting things to mix - friends, flavors, hobbies. You're the master of fusion!

 

 

How is it in these kinds of tests I get something chocolatey? I'm not even a chocoholic.
