The local PBS station has been running "New Scandinavian Cooking"
(http://www.scandcook.com/) which I watch more for the scenery than the
recipes, but at least one of the presenters (Claus Meyer) waxes euphoric
over rapeseed oil.

Is there a difference between the rapeseed oil he's using and the canola
oil I buy in my supermarket? Is this high-test European variety sold in the
US? I haven't noticed it where I shop.

As I recall it Canola is merely rapeseed oil. IIRC Canola stands for
Canadian Oil, Low Acid.

i think it's some type of genetically modified oil derived from
rapeseed oil.
yes it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canola
I wouldn't use it. Olive oil is cheap (when purchased on sale).

Some people can't taste canola. Most of the ones who can think it
tastes bad. I'll stick with peanut and olive.

You can't fry things in olive oil at as high a temperature as you can
canola oil. And olive oil has a distinctive taste which canola oil
does not. That's why people use canola for some things and not olive.

I use safflower oil when olive oil will not do, for example for crèpes. I
never deep fry food so I don't need a high temp oil.

I believe you are correct. In 1997 we did an RV caravan trip to Alaska.
While we were still in BC we visited a canola farm and they told us what
you said. They added that they changed the name because "rapeseed"
didn't sound very commercial.

BTW, canola farms are huge swathes of bright yellow. Something pretty to
behold.

Rape is a pretty loaded word. I had to get in front of the TV, then
stop it when a movie we were watching had a rape scene (The Girl With
the Dragon Tattoo), because that was something we didn't want our son
to see, and he had come into the room. That movie was a bit too much
for an "R" rating. The woman who got raped got her revenge though
(also a bit too much for an "R" rating). Good movie, but pretty
disturbing.

How come graphic violence combined with non-graphic sexual violence
gets a, "R," but graphic affectionate sex gets an X? It's because
folks in America are ****ed up, and stupid. The sight of genitalia
offends more than seeing a person get raped. The folks on the MPAA
committees deserved to get violently raped.

He watched it with his mother. I remember he liked it a lot. The
Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, if I had known what it was going to be
like, we'd have watched it after he went to sleep. The only other
thing we watch that he is not permitted to is True Blood.

Not "representations of violence," but representations of sexual
sadism, and representations of males enjoying sex with non-consenting
females.

So why do you get upset at an actress pretending to be raped, which is
completely consensual, yet appear to advocate actual rape, which is
certainly not consensual?

I think it's got somehing to do with the amount of drugs in his system.

Think Ozzie Osbourne.


I 'spose he turns the news off as well...... to 'protect' the son from
seeing all the bad stuff that goes on in the world.

The kid will grow up not knowing what the world is really like, and
everyone will think he was brought up in a 'Sheltered Workshop'.

From Wikipedia:

Canola is one of two cultivars of rapeseed or Brassica campestris
(Brassica napus L. and B. campestris L.).[1] Their seeds are used to
produce edible oil that is fit for human consumption because it has
lower levels of erucic acid than traditional rapeseed oils and to
produce livestock feed because it has reduced levels of the toxic
glucosinolates.[2] Canola was originally naturally bred from rapeseed
in Canada by Keith Downey and Baldur R. Stefansson in the early 1970s,
[3][4] but it has a very different nutritional profile in addition to
much less erucic acid.[5] The name "canola" was derived from "Canadian
oil, low acid" in 1978.[6][7] A product known as LEAR (for low erucic
acid rapeseed) derived from cross-breeding of multiple lines of
Brassica juncea is also referred to as canola oil and is considered
safe for consumption.[8]

Basically the same thing from the same plant. However, the European
rapeseed oil I used never had that 'fishy' taste the Canadian canola oil
often has. There are different levels of erucic acid in different
rapeseed oils.
