that picture isn't that great, because it's covered with some kind of whipped cream or something meaning that it doesn't show the actual key-limeness. T-1 14:53, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Would it be appropriate for me to post the recipe?
half cup plus Key Lime Juice (No persian! Its not the same) Zest of limes to taste 3 egg yolks Can of condensed Milk Graham cracker crust
Mix zest with egg yolks and then mix with lime juice and condensed milk. Put into pie crust and bake at 350 for 15-20 mins.
Simple and delicious. Mixing zest with the yolks greens it a bit, but its still greenish yellow.
If you want to muddy the beautiful flavor, put meringue or some other dreadful topping on front. Kind of like mixing soda water with a great bordeaux to my mind, but thats most certainly POV! Charlesaf3 ( talk) 02:28, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
The topping is meringue, the true topping for KLP. Cool whip & other whipped cream concoctions are not authentic KLP toppings.
But I do understand what you are saying. Perhaps if we could find a photo of one that's been cut or or a close up of a single slice on a plate? Just be sure that it's topped with meringue and isn't green!
It wouldn't be right to take out the one that's there, since it's a whole pie. Other images online are most likely copyrighted, so... the next time I make one I'll photograph a cut-away view and place that slice photo in addition to what's there. - Marc Averette 16:57, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
I actually don't think Meringue belongs, but I'm probably wrong - I imagine both versions were concurrent, as its an easy use for the leftover. Ironically, in the last 30-40 years I've never had a decent key lime pie in the keys - too many trees killed off I guess. I'm old Florida enough that I'd never put meringue on mine. Nor have I ever seen it in a "real" keys restaurant Charlesaf3 ( talk) 02:20, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi. I've tagged this article as POV, because there are a couple of bits that read like someone's point of view. Specifically:
"To the dismay of aficionados, ..." "Alas, many popular chain restaurants that have "Key lime pie" on their menus are not serving authentic Key lime pie to their patrons."
Not sure whether this is quite the right tag, but hopefully someone who knows the subject will be able to clean up the POVness.
Thanks. Jamse 10:06, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
I agree on green and cool whip, disagree on Meringue. I'd never put one on myself, but I could see Meringue as authentic, much as my gut instinct is Blasphemy! Charlesaf3 ( talk) 02:23, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
The article contradicts itself over whether the pie should be meringue-topped or not. Is there really a definitive answer to this? I know whenever I make key lime pie I never put a topping on it, but it looks like most people do (from this article, anyway) Paul E Nolan 22:46, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
This article should describe the standard Key Lime pie, not make judgements about variant pies. They need not even be discussed.

Can someone fix it, please.

I'm surprised comparisons haven't been made with lemon meringue pie - they are very similar, in fact I didn't realise how similar til I read this article. The only difference is the citrus filling. The lemon meringue article is very sparse, which is odd seeing as it's internationally a more popular dish. Does anyone know more about the history of the two, are they linked in any way?

Something tangential to the article:
The 9th version of the mobile operating system Android was expected to be called "Key Lime Pie" (and referred as KLP internally), but on Sep 4 2013 Google revealed that the version will instead be called "Android KitKat", after the Nestlé chocolate bar, since "We realised that very few people actually know the taste of a key lime pie" as explained by John Lagerling, director of Android global partnerships. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.229.34.175 ( talk) 06:37, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
The article states that the thickening occurs due to a chemical reaction between the condensed milk and the acid in the lime juice. Surely it's the protein in the egg yolk that reacts with the acid? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.32.19.201 ( talk) 08:52, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
Are YELLOW, not green. Have Meringue, NEVER whipped cream. Use a cheapy-frozen pie crust; Graham Crackers are sacrilege. (restaurants started doing that to make the dessert sweeter for the Yankees, and the damned Yankees-the ones who stayed). 50.221.100.74 ( talk) 20:38, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
I used to get this quoted at me all the time. The chorus is “ my oh my. How I love that key lime pie” What is it? I see it referred to in recipes sometimes, so someone must know it. The one I’m looking for will have a reference to “great big truck”. Could add to the article, to show cultural impact. 2601:647:5800:3B60:B055:2CEF:ABC1:3C04 ( talk) 20:52, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
