TRADITIONAL JAPANESE RECIPE: Lemon Pound Cake is good, Meyer Lemon Pound Cake is even better. If you live in Japan Meyer Lemons can be found between December and May, but they're hard to find no matter what.
The Meyer lemon is commonly grown in China in garden pots as an ornamental tree, but it became so popular in the united states during the 1970s that people thought to grow them and actually eat them.
