Lemon Posset

[KianGaf]

This is a delicious dessert that seems to go as far back as the 16th century. It is a cold set dessert and it is not as thick as a custard and not as set as a panna cotta. I have only ever tried them flavoured with lemon and I find it a delicious end to a meal.

I like anything lemon. Sometimes I'll eat raw lemons. This looks appetizing. I might have to try this.

Victorian dinners in New England (and perhaps elsewhere) included lemon sherbet or lemon ice cream to "cleanse the pallet". This sounds like something similar. I'm pretty much with @Pete Longstreet on this--though I draw the line at raw lemons.

I seen a food show on the TV about Italy. On the Amalfi Coast near Naples the lemons are famous. When picked straight from the tree they are supposed to be fantastic when eaten like other fruit. I'd give them a try I'll skip trying the sorry examples sold in the local grocery stores around here.

My friends and I would get kicked out of the after church coffee/tea social hour because we would eat all the lemon slices off the tea tray!

Shudder! Were I in charge, I'd be inclined to oust anyone who ate lemon slices!

Good enough to eat.
