After hinting at the powers of lime on papaya yesterday, I had to feature it today. I'm going to make a bold statement here -- everything is better with lime juice. Well, that's a biggy, but I'd say it's pretty much true. They love lime juice in India -- it's in soda, on fruits, lentils, dosas. It is an awesome compliment to sweets and savories. I love the lime guy at the market too - he's about 10 years old and gives me a grin when we have the same interaction every few days -- I ask for 4 limes and he throws in 1 extra, making a big fuss about his generosity and I thank him profusely. 5 limes costs 20 rupees, and a little squeeze brightens just about any meal.
I'd have to agree with you about the lime--Mexicans also think the exact same thing! The lime is so refreshing and rounds out a palate of flavors, even heightening or putting others in their place on the taste scale.
