Olive oil/Rape Seed oil

[Gravity Aided]

Canola, over here. I have not experimented with canola on a bicycle chain, although olive oil was heartily recommended on another thread. Further testing.

Italian food , v nice ,
But ,
How did that song go ?

'Macaroni , Ministerone ?
Ohhhh give us a bash of the Bangers n Mash me Mother used to make ''

Note that the regular 1ltr oils (in Aldi, Lidl et al) are usually 100% rapeseed oil, so don't buy the ickle bottles of rapeseed oil being sold at stupid prices - it's the same stuff!

Interesting your use of the word
'Ickle' the only person I have ever use that word in my life is my GF , she hails from S Yorkshire bordering on Nottinghamshire ,
Would you be from that neck of the woods ?

Maybe you should worry ozboz - a fatal slip by bonefish.

No, but I'm something of a magpie with words and phrases so will have picked it up somewhere in my past

Ickle fairly widespread from Notts to Northants AFAIK.

I thought rapeseed didn't seem to have the benefits of olive, cold at least, but it wasn't yet understood why. Most oil threads on health forums I read don't get far, though, before a butterball bounces in claiming verbosely that all oils are death and butter is natural... yet you never see cows churning it theirself

Can't help but wonder how the health benefits of olive oil were established.

One thing I can't help wondering about with regard to Italian habit of chucking it on everything (along with salt ) :-

If you have a bowl of salad or veg in front of you is it healthier to eat it as it is or with the olive oil added?

I can't help but think the former.

There is a reason why 'essential fatty acids' are called 'essential', you know!

I think that the Italians know what they are doing (or stumbled across a healthy diet by accident!) ...

And is Olive oil high in essential fatty acids?

I sense a cunning trap ...!

 

[ColinJ]

Hmm ... What's wrong with olive oil!

but lots of things are essential colin (including salts) but surely it's a matter of how much?
I'm not sure Italians know everything about food at all to be honest - the way they chuck salt around/into stuff can be downright alarming

(though this does give them the excuse to have yet more tests).

So are you sure about this?

I attempted to use some goose fat for Christmas lunch roast potatoes when it was being pushed by Delia a few years ago. It was a total soggy disaster. I've never been back.
