I love Kafir Lime Leaf. I live in St. Pete, FL. There is a large Thai population here. We have reaped the benefit with excellent Asian markets and Thai restaurants. I have had kafir lime leaves and have tried cooking with them when making Thai curries. THe flavor is almost indescribable. But, it is indispensable to Thai curries and, once you've eaten them, you will definitely love them. They taste citrusy and green. Excelllent recipe.
