It is hard to get your hands on fresh Key limes outside of the Americas and the Caribbean. Memories of limes hanging both in clusters and ripe and fallen in the front yards of houses fronting the sandy streets of Florida’s Estero Beach torment me. So here I am in England, pestering my local fruit and vegetable stallholders to look for them on their pre-dawn trips to London wholesalers because I can no longer easily buy bottles of Nellie & Joe’s Key lime juice online (and that was always my adequate sub-in for the real, fresh thing even though an imported bottle costs about eleven million pounds).
