NeoAmsterdam,

I noticed one of your ingredients was grapeseed oil, and until this last summer's trip to Western Canada, I also thought that (which is also called canola oil) was "grapeseed", but the farmers at the Calgary Stampede set me right.

Despite the rather unpleasent sound of the word, it is actually called rapeseed, from the rape plant. My wife and I were impressed by beautiful yellow fields of, what looked like grass, topped by small yellow flowers. At the agricultural exhibit in Calgary, we asked a farmer, who was showing his prize sow, about the yellow flowers and he pointed us to the canola exhibit. There we were shown millions of small black pellets, each the size of cockroach droppings, in a bucket; and we were told that the seeds would be squeezed of their oil.

Now that I think about it, it makes some sense that prudish American businesses would avoid calling a product "rape oil" or some variation of that. Canola oil sounds so much more civilized.

Speaking of civilized, is this more appropriate behavior for the Cafe SETI boards?

Not many Americans now that Canola oil is Rapeseed oil...

It is a great emollient and can be used is cosmetics etc.
If you have a wart dab some on every day and the wart will
disappear.

boards?

This tread is about favorite foods not about seeds of .... (humor)

Peaceful Timmy

Morning, all!

It does sound more civilized, but alas, no - I did mean grape-seed. It burns hotter, faster, and you can use the rest of the grape to make the night's wine. :-)

Indubitably.

I read it, but as usual when I read something that sound so biased I look for links and footnotes to respectable institutes and doctors. That article contained none. Instantly it gets filed in my "unsubstantiated garbage health nut hysteria propoganda" file with other things like shark cartilage.

YES! YES! YES!
Bring it on! Carcinogens be damned.

Food is poisonous. My proof:

No one who has lived past their first birthday (it would be morally wrong to experiment on infants), has ever failed to die, and they all have in common that they have eaten food! There is a clear statistical correlation between eating food and death, 100%! This is significantly smaller than the statistical correlation between, say tobacco and cancer, yet that relationship is well established and treated as proven.

So, bring on the carbs, saturated fat, canola oil and tuna!

Thanks Timmy, read it. And a good one too. And I noted that it had creditable links associated with it.

Mediterranean food. From Greece to Spain. From Morrocco to Egipt. Just try it.
