Enough of foreign affairs for one week, here’s some important news: it’s Key lime season again and that means…the giant Key lime pies are finally back in the coolers at Costco.
They are monstrously good, if you like a little tart with your sweet – and who doesn’t? 
Additionally, it's actually good for you; packed with tons of vitamin C that can prevent scurvy, a disease that has recently reemerged, especially around Washington D.C..
The vitamin C is harvested by scraping off the lime’s incredibly thin skin and then reaming the heck out those little
berriesorbs.
I don’t know if the pie provides any protection from another old ailment that has also raised it’s ugly head again: beriberi (alternate spelling, “barrybarry”) which is caused by a B (boy) vitamin deficiency.
“Beriberi is a disease caused by a lack of Vitamin B1 (thiamin).The thiamin-deficiency disorder is characterized by muscle weakness.”
Butt I say why take any chances when you can score a whole pie for $11.99 that will easily serve 20 people.
Or 2, if they’re really, really hungry.
