Skivee, make the key lime in a normal lard pie shell, preparing it like a fresh lemon meringue pie. I agree that the usual cracker crust version is pretty bad. Seasonally we get key limes in the groceries here in Canada, the best from Central America. The 'key lime' is Asian, and was grown in North Africa and Spain before making its way to the Caribbean region.

Following a comment about lemon meringue pies in England- they are in 19th c. English and American cookbooks; whether the first was English or American, dunno.

As I posted previously, the name ñame and similar was first applied to sweet potatoes by 16th c. Spanish and Portuguese in the East Indies. The word origin is unknown, but the supposed African origin may be based on coincidence of words from different languages. It is also possible that the name was carried from SE Asia to west Africa by traders. Comparison has been made with the Fulani word 'to eat' but this seems to be coincidence.
