There it was … taunting me … tempting me. An ice cold bottle of Limca was in our fridge. I had no idea how it got there but I knew exactly where it was going.
Limca is a lemon lime drink from India. I drank plenty of it both in 2003 and 2005 when I visited India and I’ve always wished that it was available here in Australia.
A while after getting home today I opened the fridge to see the object of my desire staring back at me. There it was, 300 ml of pure taste sensation. I could only guess that Pauline had found it somewhere in her travels.
Once Pauline arrived home I quizzed her on how she found Limca here in Perth. Apparently there’s an Indian food shop not far from the new school the kids are attending. That means it’s not far from where we’ll eventually move when we sell our house and buy another.
The bottle cost $2.50 but it was worth every cent. I gave Pauline, Emily and James a small taste before downing the rest of the bottle.
I don’t think I can afford to drink Limca every day but you can be sure that I’ll be visiting that shop somewhat regularly when we finally move house.
Do you think some of your friends would enjoy reading Limca? Please use the buttons below to share the post. Thanks.
You are going to have to forgive your American friend, but what the heck is Limca? It must be really good.
I’m never heard of or tried Limca (prbably because I’ve never been to India 😉 )
but I can understand the excitement of finding a drink you love. When I was younger we visited relly’s in Melbourne and I fell in love with Big M milk drinks. When I saw them over here in Perth years later I was thrilled. My thrill didn’t last long as either I had grown old enough to not enjoy pure sugar in a drink or they had changed the way they made it. I’m glad your tasted the same and you’ll have ready access to it! 🙂
Mmmmm: Limca. But there must be hundreds of different drinks and foods that you’ve eaten from around the world… I know there is for me. Must be for everyone! It could be worth a talk-back topic just to hear various great foods and drinks that people have had from different places.
I also wonder if some drinks are more about the association. The Solomon Island’s has a beer called “Sol Brew”. While at the time, I didn’t really enjoy my visit to The Solomon Islands, I think I spent lots of time drinking Sol Brew… and sulking or feeling sorry for myself. Now that years have elapsed, I only remember the positives and make a positive association with drinking Sol Brew. Sol Brew is not a good beer – but if I ever see it (not at all since coming to WA) – I buy it and while downing a tube of two, I actually believe that I had a great time in The Solomons.
