SY,

I presume you are aware that the popular Kiwi fruit used to be unpopular when they were sold as Chinese Gooseberries.

I suspect you are aware of what Canola oil was called before it became mass marketed?

Rapeseed, if memory serves.

Unrefined sunflower seed oil is not very thermally stable, but the refined version is not bad, close to refined olive oil. I've had some extra virgin Argentinean olive oils that tasted excellent. Very much on the fruity side, not dissimilar to Spanish.

I more or less (we are a few) inherited some land in north Algeria
where my parents have an artisanal exploitation of olive trees.

Not the kind of production to get rich , at least money wise ,
but quality is just exceptionnal though it vary depending
of the exact weather but i have yet to find so fruity taste
in commercial products , i guess that there s much variables
to get top notch quality...

As pointed by DVV it cant really be used to fry unless
you throw it away after a single cooking , quite a waste...

Looks like you missed out, from the man that brought you "hell night". The food channel guy could not down the pasta from hell.

I would better waste money for health, rather than for doctors.

Locally it is 4.5$/litre while a dental ceramic bridge is about 15$
so all things being equal the cost efficency equation is somewhat inverted....

I'm not really into the "crazy hot" sauces. They just seem like novelty products to me. And the vinagerish sauces like Tabasco have their place. For everyday use, and easily available from my neighborhood grocers, I've become fond of El Yucateco. It's listed on the site Scott linked. Odd that Inner Beauty has a heat rating of 8 (Hot Hot) while El Yucateco is 8 (Hot). Anyhow, I can get both the Roja and the Verde for less than the site's price of their single bottle.

Rancid and burnt fats kill cells including cells that form organs that digest foods and release hormones that control the body, not just teeth.

By the way, speaking of teeth: they are killed mostly by sugars and other carbohydrates taken in refined form. Dentists believe it happens because they provide food for caries, but it is wrong: they disrupt calcium/phosphorus balance damaging all bones, including teeth. Teeth are like tips of icebergs.

Can you get Crystal there? Very popular in the bayou parts of Louisiana.
