Lee Mon Dulce de Fruta Acidita Sabor Limon con Vitamina C (lemon flavored jelly)
Catherine | April 2, 2008
If the long name and curiously Hispanic looking Bruce Lee don’t intimidate you, then the La Brea Tar Pits-like texture and chemically enhanced lemonosity will. Safety precautions are recommended as we needed to stab the package with a sharp knife to get it open. Once opened, the dog seemed to fear he would be sucked in, trapped and preserved for all eternity. He refused to have anything to do with the green jelly, instead retreating to the corner of the kitchen to eye us warily. As for the taste… Catherine described it as lemon-flavored Vegemite while Leo was reminded of a trip to the dental hygienist. Admittedly, the name is fun to say but you are advised to stay away. Stay far, far, away.

About the author: I'm a Latin-teaching foodie who has lived (and eaten) in Fort Wayne for the past 10 years. I love all the ethnic grocery stores here and the great Mexican restaurants. Cooking is something that I really enjoy, although I tend to improvise a lot and experience my share of disasters. My parents are both wonderful cooks, as was my paternal grandmother (Oma), and I'm always trying to make things the way mom, dad or Oma did. Read more from this author
