Everybody loves Meyer Lemons...except me! I know that this is a shocking and controversial statement that could very well be upsetting to people but lucky for me no one really reads this so I'm gonna just say it loud and proud--I don't like and don't use Meyer Lemons! They are useless.Lemons exist to keep people coming back for more. That tartness and acid at the end of a bite of pie or cake or salad dressing or fish that keeps food from tasting flat and boring or too sweet. A Meyer Lemon is like the very sweet, somewhat boring and dimwitted younger sister of the regular lemon. The one that all the boys are interested in dating but once they're on that date they are bored senseless and start to think that maybe they picked the wrong sister.
Before I knew better I would occassionaly use the Meyers in a pie or in salad dressing when a well meaning person would say--here's some Meyer Lemons from my garden!--the result would be a frustratingly overly sweet & flat flavor profile. Offering someone a Meyer Lemon is like offering someone salt that isn't salty. Like, what is the point?
