Cook's Notes

Though almost everyone who's ever had a slice of it comes back for more, not many people really know anything about this Florida dessert. For instance, did you know that key limes are actually not native to the Florida Keys? They originated on the Yucatan Peninsula and were transplanted here. Key limes are not green, they're yellow -- and so key lime pie is yellow unless food coloring has been added to it
