If I were forced to give up every fruit in the world but one, I would have absolutely no trouble choosing. The lemon wins, hands down... There are even people who eat lemons out of hand. I myself have been eating lemons since a child. By rights I should have no enamel left on my teeth. Considering that on a cold weekend in England when I was twenty-two I ate an entire bag of them, it is a wonder I have any teeth at all.
