cooking oils the big con in history

[WitawatWatawit]

I use extra virgin olive oil. Always have. Now I suppose everyone will jump on me for being too old to use extra virgin olive oil.

Just stick with normal olive oil, extra virgin is not really meant for frying as it burns easier, and I guess normal olive oil is cheaper too there?

Who said I used it for frying? I make pesto with it and use it for dipping mixed with herbs and spices.

Give us some recipes, you miserable bugger.

Cut a potato in 8ths and spread them out in a plastic bag. Drizzle some extra extra virgin olive oil on them and a pinch of sea salt; shake and then broil in whatever little oven you have managed to find in Thailand.

Talking about cooking oil, I'm trying to find beef fat, AKA "beef dripping" in Pattaya. Does anyone know where I could find some?

Try the market on soi muslim

The country that produces more palm oil then any country is Indonesia,and from 2006 onwards,getting bigger and bigger

Same as you sir, extra virgin olive oil. I like my oil like I like my women, olive skinned, virgins and covered in oil. Sadly Thailand is devoid of virgins.

Wasn't rapeseed a few years ago the answer to everything with easy production, minimal environmental impact and omega 3.

Back in NZ I used to pay a bit more and buy rice bran oil......this is Thailand, so why isn't there rice bran oil available?

As to the gist of the OP, I fully endorse boycotting palm oil and products that use palm oil.

At the very least, if you do not care about the forests or wildlife, do you care about the smoke from the burning off drifting over to Thailand?

Boycott palm oil!

Eh? I saw rice bran oil in BigC Buriram yesterday.

FYI. I avoid all beef products, including butter fats and all sheep meat. All of these fatty animal products not good for me. Eat what u want. Some folks believe 'gotta eat meat, luv cheese, butter on Oreos, and rich creamy ice cream the best of diets'.

What foods contain saturated fats?

Saturated fats occur naturally in many foods. The majority come mainly from animal sources, including meat and dairy products. Examples are:

• fatty beef,
• lamb,
• pork,
• poultry with skin,
• beef fat (tallow),
• lard and cream,
• butter,
• cheese and
• other dairy products made from whole or reduced-fat (2 percent) milk.

In addition, many baked goods and fried foods can contain high levels of saturated fats. Some plant-based oils, such as palm oil, palm kernel oil and coconut oil, also contain primarily saturated fats, but do not contain cholesterol.

Holy cow . .that's why I never eat any oil fried food.

A) the food stall might be using the oil for weeks already, and you don't know

the oil they use is naturally the cheapest, in order to maximize profit

C) what you see is not what you think it is ( the ILLUSION - theory)

gosh and why does a capital B followed by a bracket, becomes a face with sunglasses on my keyboard ????

I heard best diet is no sugar, no fat, no salt...

So am I correct in the assumption that if anyone actually avoids any food that tastes good, he will live forever?

Or will he just gain 3 or 4 years lifespan and be likely to die between 80 and 90 years of age as any other people?
