There's no other substitute condiment for pancit, sinigang, and other Filipino food but our own calamansi.

They leave a good mark on their pastries which is sought by most people. They are also good in any rum cocktail. However, cannot use them in any of our pancit selection as they significantly alter the flavor of the noodles especially in pancit canton it gives it a soapy taste.

The rind is less bitter which makes it more palatable for zesting and candied peels. Best of all, it's sweet fragrance fills up the room. It's no surprise that companies like Williams-Sonoma and Restoration Hardware have been selling Meyer lemon products, such as lotions, soaps, candles, and sprays, for long time.

The “mercurial oven temperature” is a remarkably felicitous turn of phrase btw. I also melt bitter chocolate with condensed milk for chocolate cubes that can give Monsieur Linx a run for his money (if you use high grade chocolate such as Valrhona as he does) that I flavour with Boyajian citrus oil, specially the tangerine and grapefruit ones. Another citrus combination you can try, is lime and lemon. Gives you the zesty flavour of 7-up. Yes that Dayap Pie is one of these glorious gifts you can turn out of the common place condensed milk.
