Of any other "k" food you can think of that you like...lol...(there aren't many and a bunch are Japanese words...lol...)I like Crab, but, I hate the project to eat it ...all that work for very little reward...Crispy Creme's are way too sweet...I like Spudnuts or Dunkin Donuts...I like Kitt Katts though

If you don't know what "Kaffir Lime" is, it's what gives Thai food that unique citrus flavor. Not the fruits so much, as the leaves.

There is some controversy over the name, since in South Africa the word "kaffir" is an ethnic slur for black South Africans. The word comes from the Arabic "kafir" which means "Infidel." However the etymology of the fruit name comes from Southeast Asia and not South Africa. So I find the argument silly. I see no reason to start calling it Makrut Lime, since that is also the word for a kind of orange in Southeast Asia. In South Africa they simply call it "Thai Lime" which is neither accurate nor necessary.

Anyway. Kaffir lime. The leaves have a more authentic lime flavor than a regular lime or key lime.

Other K foods: Kiwi fruit, Klondike bars, Kale (yuck,) Kimchi (yuck yuck,) Kidney beans, Kung Pao Chicken, and Kebobs.

They are getting easier and easier to find too.
