I think canola oil is very similar to rapeseed oil - rapeseed oil being quite posh stuff that has been cold pressed. Contrary to what has been posted above I have always been told that canola/rapeseed it is much healthier than other oils (as Loz states) because it has the lowest saturated fat of any cooking oil... But, you know...I'm sure I've been told varying numbers of eggs I should eat in a week too, so everything in moderation.

Result of an oft-misquoted line from the Godfather; "Leave the gun, bring the Canola."

Ok let's seperate food hygiene from the equation


If McDonald's sold a product that was at best 'misleading' then they'd be rightly pilloried


But Kebab shops which sells a non-lamb "Lamb Doner" is ok because the sell Shish when you're pissed


Ok, I see. But support that deception and then lash out at new business doing an honest job, because you don't like change/what they might stand for, is all fine and dandy


Tragic

My woman shunned the haggis on Saturday night as she said its full of offal. But she'll happily eat sausages or hot dogs which are all a lot worse in the mystery ingredients department.


As for Maccas I like a quarter pounder with cheese once or twice a year. But immediately after I get a weird high and feel unclean inside. A bit like the MSG buzz after a Mr Lius

The only time I've ever fancied a McDonalds as an adult has been when tottering down Shaftesbury Ave at three in the morning. Even then I've been shocked by the lack of any real texture - it's like eating baby food made into burger shapes.


Smarties McFlurries are good though.

Maybe I should have said that was a long time ago.

Myth, though (if there was such a thing as food-grade sawdust) it might be healthier: the fibre would slow down the sugar absorption, making it lower GI and less stressful on the pancreas, and the displacement of sugar and fat by the sawdust would reduce the calories overall.

You want to do something about that - is it too late to chuck her in for a bandy legged Scots lass whose idea of fine dining is using a wooden fork with her chips?

Not Myth..

There may be more fibre in your food than you realized.


Burger King, McDonald?s and other fast food companies list in the ingredients of several of their foods,

microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) or ?powdered cellulose? as components of their menu items.

Or, in plain English, wood pulp.

I too love a good Kebab


But a good Kebab is a rare thing, just don't see why the big guns like KFC & McD's get slated & the local shite mongers get blindsided



But in the world of dirty food, that KFC thing above does have a certain 'sexyness' to it

... and then processed further in to cellulose gum. But it's not saw dust then, is it? And possibly never was (wood pieces or chips, perhaps, but not dust).


Anyway, that's like shouting that Sainsburys use wood bark in their hot cross buns. Most of us call it 'cinnamon'. Or a restaurant puts tree sap on their pancakes (Maple syrup). Or tree leaves in their stews and casseroles (bay leaves).


You also find fish bladder or egg in your wine, boiled beetle shells in your soft drinks, cows stomachs in your cheese and horse's hooves in you fruit tart.


And most of those have been in our food for hundreds of years. Hardly the creation of the modern food industry!

> Canola oil IS Rapeseed oil



NO It's Not...


People often get confused about the difference between Canola Oil and Rapeseed Oil.

These two plant-based cooking oils, however, are different. Here?s the scoop on both.


Why They Get Mixed-Up: The Origin of Canola

Both canola and rapeseed belong to the cabbage or mustard family.

The plants' flowers both have that characteristic bright yellow colour, and you get oil from both of the seeds by crushing the plants.


That said, they have a couple key genetic differences. Canola was created through plant-breeding in order to get rid of two undesirable components of rapeseed.


Rapeseed oil and canola oil also get mixed up because they can be labeled incorrectly outside of Canada and the United States.


What's the Difference Between Canola and Rapeseed Oils?

In the 1970s canola was created through traditional plant cross-breeding by removing two things found in the rapeseed plant: glucosinolates and erucic acid. Erucic acid was removed because it was believed to be inedible or toxic in high doses. The newly developed plant was renamed "canola" ? a combination of "Canadian" and "Oil" (or ola) to make this difference apparent.


By definition, if a seed is labeled "canola" it has to have less than 30 micromoles of glucosinolates and less than 2% of erucic acid.

    • Crikey. I made one comment  relating to the ice cream flavour, which referred to a previous thread which you started.  That thread was also about a specific named local cafe (not the same one). You subsequently deleted most of your very long posts on it, which included one in which you made false and insulting assumptions about another forum member (not me). Luckily nobody had quoted your posts  in their responses, so the content is no longer on here. In view of the subject of that thread (you and your son didn't like the vegan hot chocolate) I thought my comment above about the ice cream flavour was funny. I'm sorry if you found it "sarcastic". Maybe we have a  different sense of humour. I thought the rest of my posts on this thread  were helpful. I'm sorry if you didn't. I'm not deliberately "replying to every one of your posts " !!! What a very strange thing to say! To the best of my knowledge I haven't replied more to your posts than to anyone else's! I post a lot on this forum.  If you click on my name you can see all my posts.  I have lived in the area since 1991, and I have an interest in what is going on. I've been posting on here almost since the forum started. I am  retired, apart from promoting and  running music gigs, which takes up a lot of my time, however yes!  I do have many other  things to do!  I don't know if they are "better" than posting on here.  You post on here! So do many other people! If everyone had "better things to do" there would be no forum! I am  "out" on here, and always have been. I don't have anything to hide behind a forum name, and I have always gone under my own name.  You can come and find me any time if you want to address your apparent grievances with me in person. I am glad your son is better.
    • Thankfully he's better Sue, thanks to your usual sarcasm - can always rely on the fact you have nothing better to do than reply to every one of my posts. Clearly I'll have to change my ED forum name 😉 Apologies to anyone offended. We've all eaten in this cafe many many times so I've put this down to a one off. Yes obviously kids get sick. Gosh I didn't realise when ED forum became so full of passive aggressive, sarcastic people. Won't be posting again in a hurry - cue the afore mentioned type of replies in response no doubt... Oh and this incident was most definitely the icecream or person serving it having dirty hands or gloves, as my son was fine after he was sick. So no bug.  For the avoidance of doubt nobody meant for this to affect any business, so once again apols for mentioning by name. Happy icecream eating everyone.
