....... and no I am not bitter that my "Bitter Lemons" thread was locked and you opened this "Bitter Oranges" one to rub in my face!

I know it was your exchanges about the conspiracy that the Durrell's were spies and not journalists / innocent authors that brought the lock upon us ...

I am not going to retaliate by getting yours closed.

But I may use it to continue disseminating progress on my lemon mountain ....

Compromise?

... Apparently together with Lemon juice they have the ability to slow down sperm mobility in the lab....

Deniz why do you have sperm running around your lab?

Keep those juices under control ....

I read about it somewhere, sorry to disappoint you. I tried the Bitter Lemon thread to inform, but was locked out. So bitter oranges here we come.

Its a pity I am not allowed to eat these sweets anymore.

You do not increase diversity by calling a variety of citrus fruit "citrus". Denaturation of protein I presume and Casa wouldn't use HCl, would he?

There is diversity in the family of Citrus fruit .... regardless.

(..."family" used loosely before we pedantise further!).

As for spermicidal effects, yes the acid would denature proteins.

But to avoid locking this thread: how can I say this delicately?

... at what point in the procedure did the lemons come out?

Sperm are not sweets!

Spit them out Deniz ..... they are high in cholesterol too!

....and it was me thinking that I was doing you a favour. Ungrateful or what?

Are the seedless ones 'gay' then?

I normally tend not to be wasteful of anything with nutrition value. I begin thinking of all the starving people in Africa and elsewhere..........................................do you think......

YOU ARE TRYING TO GET MY THREAD LOCKED UP

I sense that you are a fellow etymology fan. It seems that the root of the Turkish word 'narenciye' is the Farsi 'narang'. You will find a detailed study of the etymology of this Farsi word here:

Many thanks Tim.

One quick browse through my 'Original' Ottoman Redhouse printed in 1890, Constantinople, lends me to believe that the contents are 38% Arabic, 44% Farsi and 18% pure Turkish. So no surprise there. Of course this is a guestimate.
