    Yahoooooooo...........we found genuine Sunkist brand lemons imported from the USA in the supermarket here in Cancun, today. I almost can't believe it. I ate one as soon as we got them home, and then made some Bloody Mary's to celebrate. Photographic proof follows...............

    You may celebrate Tom. But my advice is to not get tooo excited.

    I doubt they will last. The last time they were in Cancun was about 5 years ago. lol.

    I think that's considered torture...to post photos, but not tell us where to find them...

    When I lived in the States we were always trying to find key limes, when we could find them they were too expensive...now I'm sick of them.

    I think that Tom is keeping them to himself. :lol:

    Rivergirl,
    Now you can get 3 lb bags of key limes at Walmart here in MN. For cheap. I got sick of them too.

    I just got back from Cancun, visiting my GF. Bitched and moaned about not being able to find lemons in Mexico....especially Cancun, where there are so many Americans. Then someone said they can be found at Costco, so I'm more optimistic for my next trip. They're in that separate room with all the other fruits and vegetables.

    BTW, RiverGirl....those little limes we have here in Mexico, are not Key limes. I know cuz I lived in the Keys for 16 years, and at one time, had a tree in my back yard. Key limes are actually yellow when ripe, and these little Spanish limes are nowhere close. They're also smaller than the average Key lime, and each one has the juice content of 2 Persian limes.

    But I'll be more than happy to find lemons!!! Hollandaise sauce on Eggs Benedict, here we come!!!!!!
