I like lemon in my tea and love lemon desserts, but they are far too sour for me to just be able to eat or drink the juice straight. I don't even like lemonade.

It never even occurred to me do this, and I can't ever remember seeing someone peel a lemon and eat it like an orange. A slice of lemon in a glass of tea is great though.

I like the scent of lemon but usually not the taste...

Yes! Love lemons and sour things in general, I always lament there aren't enough really sour foods in this world
I cut them up into wedges and sprinkle with a bit of sugar and eat them; but the best are lemon slices that have been soaking in sangria, yummm :P

I like drinking lemon water- sliced organic lemons put into a glass of water. It's good for you too.

Nay.
Sour/bitter repels me, my taste buds do not seek out such gustatory sensations as raw citrus.

My youngest daughter has a ritual with the raw lemon wedge served with ice tea. She won't squeeze it into her tea, but will bite into it and make a horrible puckered up face. She's been doing this since she was 5 or 6. She's now 21, and when we go out to eat, she still does it (but just because she knows we expect her to, and it always makes us crack up laughing).
