Are there any Bitter Orange trees left in Cyprus?

Are forum threads getting more and more sophisticated or is it just me?

Deniz is being controversial ... his ambition is to have a thread closed down too!

Yes, but, but, but what has the moderator got against citrus?

Go on Deniz ... I dare you! ... start a thread on "Bitter Grapefruit" ... that would really get up Svetlana's nose

Forgive me for not obliging. Lana is the last person here who has not said a nasty thing to me. I will keep it like that. Thank you.

My family used to make tons of these jams. Peeling the peel in quarters and pinning them in acurl and boiling them in their own juices.

Apparently together with Lemon juice they have the ability to slow down sperm mobility in the lab. Hence the suggestion that they might be used as a spermicide. In the end it proved false.

Loads of them on the 2km. drive up to Secret Valley golf course, trees still have plenty on them and they make great marmalade!

No....Cypriot.

Blessed with the Cypriot sunshine and that rare thing called water.

We call them citrus in Cypriot Greek and nerantzia in Greek Greek.

What do you mean by "nerantzia" in Greek Greek"? Could this be referring to the type of orange? My Greek-Greek tells me they're "portokalia."
