Kaffir |
 | | Dried or fresh, the leaves, rind, and juice of the fruit are indispensable elements in enlivening soups, salads, and curries. |
 | | Kaffir limes are used in the cuisines of such countries as Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia "with a frequency bordering on automaticity," Alan Davidson writes in The Oxford Companion to Food. |
 | | Kaffir, he writes, probably comes from the Arabic word for infidel and has long been used in South Africa as a pejorative term for fls. |
