It probably comes from the French name : "limande" or "sole limande". The French term "limande" may come from the French word "lime", it means "file" (tool use to smooth metal, wood, etc.), possibly referring to the texture of the fish's skin. Some other authors suggest that "limande" may also come from the French word "limon" (which means "silt").[3] :)Jake of Floridahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14460837412289201219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-31020663114883194112014-05-30T15:08:50.288+02:002014-05-30T15:08:50.288+02:00Love those happy doggiesLove those happy doggiesSwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399449692589272476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-67339996748551498982014-05-30T14:44:07.902+02:002014-05-30T14:44:07.902+02:00That cheese looks delicious!
