[JMR27]

oooya...you mean you're eating a lemon? I don't think lemons would be very kind to your teeth.

[looobylooo]

oooh eck!

From the web:

To eat a whole lemon raw is not bad for you, if your stomach can take the acid okay and not feel upset. However, on a regular/daily basis, that much lemon juice is too acidic for the teeth and will gradually strip the enamel.

On a Sunday morning, when my Dad and his best mate were lads, they would go and watch the brass band playing at the local band-stand.
They would stand or sit directly in the eyeline of the band and both suck on a half-lemon, listening with mounting glee at the assorted squeaks and farts produced by the retracting lips of the bandsmen who couldn't help but watch them. :o)

Greek lemons are best. Pith an inch thich, picked from the tree, quartered and sprinkled with salt.
Eat the whole thing, skin too, just like eating an apple.

Well, the pith is so thick, it's like a lemon-flavoured apple, and really sweet. Try it with a little sprinkle of salt, seriously.

Well, well well.. Thought I was the only one who love to eat lemons.
