Today Jarrod and I went to South City Mall to actually look around. It's nice, but I'm not really interested in any of the stores, so I'm not going to be spending a lot of my time there.
Jarrod wanted a fresh-squeezed orange juice for lunch, but the juice stand guy told him that oranges weren't in season, and suggested that he try the sweet lime juice. He pointed to a pile of orange-sized green fruits. Special note: we've seen these everywhere in the fruit markets recently. Jarrod was curious what the juice tasted like, so he agreed and got the sweet lime juice.
Delicious! It tasted just like orange juice. So, since we've seen them everywhere, we decided to get a few on the way back, and stopped at this stand selling amazing-looking produce (bright red pomegranates, wonderful-smelling pineapples, etc). Ten rupees for two--very cheap, even for the produce we've bought here.
When we got home, we peeled our booty and ate it just like an orange. Good stuff! It tastes like a less-sweet version of an orange. I can't say it's my favorite fruit in India, but I like oranges, it's in season, and it's cheap*, so I can see myself eating a fair amount of sweet limes in the future.

*Jarrod and I have recently become quite stingy, which I will write about on Wednesday, since tomorrow calls for a longer post. Stay tuned.
