A nice gathering of recipes, mama!
I used to eat them with salt - now I've dropped the salt and eat the lemons plain. I buy them by the bag as well - I use lemons in quite a few things.
My bro-in-law eats lemons whole, in 2-3 bites!
And what's more? He's "trained" his son and daughter (my niece & nephew) to do it, too!
It's like the "family trick" whenever strangers come over. The whole damned family lines up and goes hawg-wild sucking and chewing on lemons and shrieking about their tart bitterness, while the rest of us just watch and shake our heads and roll our eyes!

Guess I've been doing it for too many years - I love the tartness and I don't make any faces.
I use lemon as a condiment all the time. There's almost nothing that wouldn't taste good with a little squeeze of lemon on it. I also really like to toss thinly sliced lemons with salt, pepper and olive oil and then roast them till they are like lemon raisins. You can eat them whole that way. They are so good served with meat, vegetables or chopped into a salad. The other day I threw some roasted lemons into a salad of peas, radishes and feta. It was really good.
