Does anyone know what I can substitute for Kaffir lime leaves? I found a
recipe for an interesting Kaffir Lime Aioli and I'd love to make it but I
don't have a source for the leaves. Do they taste like limes? Will lime
zest work in a pinch?

Donna;
I'll swap you some leaves for the recipe. I've got a Kaffir Lime tree in the
yard.
Contact me off the group and I'll get your addy.

It's like the snotty kid in Sunday School who tells on those who do not
close their eyes during the prayer.

Katra, you'll probably just need to killfile (block) vomit
chick... her (?) posts are a total waste of bandwidth. Shoot,
unless somebody else's posts includes her vulgar statements... I
don't see them and I don't miss them!
