Rancid oil is nasty for sure. But unless it was in the green beans, I can't
think of anywhere she would have used oil. Maybe butter gone bad, though. Or
margarine. I put some of her margarine concoction on my bread.

I know they got sick twice during lent when they had fish, but I don't know
if there's any connection there. And it was something like fish sticks,
baked.
