    I made it last night, and just barely tasted it, because it was alredy late to eat, but it tasted very good! I especially liked that it was so sour and had a distinct lemon flavor. Mint leaves also add an unusual twist to this recipe. I'm looking forward to lunch time when I will get to eat it!!! - 7/31/07
