i find this so confusing, because really the word ‘citron’ is simply french for ‘lemon’!!

Marilen Espiritu (OV’s wife) has the same whopping size lemons growing over her garden in Baguio. But they are actually lemons. She makes gallons of lemonade during her holiday season lunch every December 28 and serves them to her guests. Then guests get to take home as much lemons as they can pick. They are not acidic or pomelo tasting as you described the above.

My father used to take some lemons home when he was working as a ranch manager in Nueva Vizcaya in the late 70’s. They were big lemons, maybe half the size of your “find” and very juicy, too.

“Alcohol is the cause of, and the answer to all of life’s problems.” Homer Simpson.
Wash your hands with soap and water and give them a final rubdown with alcohol to prevent the spread of the virus and have a nice little shot or three of limoncello at the first sign of the flu.
