I didn't see what these were called when I bought them at our local
Hispanic Market. I only knew I had to have some.

The lime peel tastes and feels like it was simmered in sugar water.
It's not candied but soft skinned and a little sweet, not sticky.

The coconut is just plain unsweetened coconut from a bag.

A fun different treat.

Have you ever tried Miang Kum? Coconut and lime are two of its components.

If you fail in your search, I'll provide more clues. :-)

I keep thinking I'll make them instead of just eating them in restaurants.

Well, I did learn from my Thai friend at work that it is a conmmon Thai
appetizer or snack, but he said that it could take various forms, including
beingmade into a roll or just various components on a plate. His wife
makes it frequently. Perhaps I could get a sample? :-)

This is a Thai dish, where various little tidbits, including pieces of
coconut and lime, are served in leaves. Very nice juxtaposition of
tastes. I can be more specific later but am about to go out.

What a coincidence! I made some of those just the other day.

But I made the modern ones. The were a little tough. Also, I was kind of
short on coconut.

LOLOL! You're one funny shark! You're giving Sherman a run for his
money today. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/fun/shermans.asp

I almost asked you if coconut stuff lime shells were common down there
in SoCal because I haven't run across them up here.

You are too funny.
I can't imagine with your teeth anything being a little tough for you.
What, tired or chasing sufers?

not the other way around!
