Does anyone know whether it would make any difference if I used limes instead of lemons in a lemon tart?I know the taste would vary of course, but just wondering if it would actually work or not, with the acidity being different.Has any one tried this?

I haven't tried it but sounds like a worth while experiment and no reason why it wouldn't work.

I do that all the time because our lime tree is tahitian and they turn yellow so often I have used them in error instead of a lemon, it will be just as nice.

I love limes! Try chicken breasts or thighs (I love the thigh meat more than chicken breasts) marinated in a little lime juice, a little lemon, black pepper and salt. Grill. Yum!
