Lemons are, after oranges, the most popular citrus fruit grown in Italy. However, unlike oranges, which people mostly eat, they are used almost exclusively as an ingredient or flavoring. While some gourmands frown at squeezing a lemon over fried foods, e.g. veal cutlets or fish -- they say it masks the flavor of the food -- I find a little freshly squeezed lemon to be quite refreshing, especially on a hot day. There are other things too, including Limoncello...

Ideally this is made using the lemons that grow on the slopes overlooking the sea in Sorrento. But good lemons from anywhere will give good results.
