Seriously though, some people will probably say that the raw oil in the salad is more healthy than the cooked potatoes oil. -- SN http://www.scentednectar.com/veg/ |

When it is cooked it is not so healthy and only slightly better than other oils. If it is over heated (smoking) it can be flat out bad for you.

How bout if you don't FRY the potatoes in the oil, but put them on a shallow pan, (liberally) drizzle the oil over them, add salt, pepper, and the herbs of your choice, then do them in the oven? People!!! Please spend less time worrying about what's bad in the food you eat, and more actually ENJOYING what you eat. Have a glass of Aussie Shiraz or California semillon and yuk it up! We're ALL going to die. Remember, if you extend your life by ten years, that's ten years of being OLD. Barnacle Bill |

Nice cook tip, but 10 [hopefully healthy] years extra of loved ones
enjoying your company or feeling life fulfilled is a plus - you might even come up with a phenominol invention benifitting mankind in that time too . Sure healthy eating is not a 100% guarantee of a dismal out of life but odds are folks of all sizes who apparently are 'not worrying about they eat' and not exercising are in for big trouble. Look at the out-of-shape kids today in the U.S and too, the elderly in those European countries where healthy eating was the norm, now all are eating whatEVER they enjoy and not worrying about it - the price to be paid will be increased risks of heart problems amongst other woes....

We're ALL going to die. Remember, if you extend your >> life by ten years, that's ten years of being OLD. >> >> Barnacle Bill > > Thanks. I do indeed enjoy all manner of food! I am not a vegan, or even a vegetarian, though I have followed both regimens at various times in my 58 years. I've done macrobiotic, vegan, egg-and-dairy vegetarian, and everything-but-mammal diets. I like vegetable tempura and anything made with eggplant. Sometimes I've done a particular diet for health reasons or even economic reasons. I ate macrobiotic in the 60's when I also consumed a lot of psychedelic substances. I thought it would keep me sane. The jury is still out. Now my diet consists of as much fresh, natural, unprocessed foods as possible, ignoring the occasional bag of Doritos or package of Hostess Twinkies. I eat lots of fresh fish, much of which I catch; I eat eggs from local scratch hens, I eat wild mushrooms, I eat wild meat whenever possible: deer, rabbits, moose, elk, squirrels, racoons, buffalo, wild boar, etc., I'm still eating one of the deer I killed last year. The bays here yield much shellfish and crabs. There are blueberries, beach plums and hickory nuts. Life is good. Local wild grapes yield a serviceable wine, though I prefer store-bought. At 58, my memory is getting a bit unreliable, my BP hovers near the high end, and my joints ache sometimes, but I'm happy and in LOVE and most of all, I don't need viagra... BB |

Hot Damn! I went out and bought an armload o' them suckers.

A whole gang of it. That's the spirit! I like to cut them into think slices, marinate them in OLIVE OIL, garlic, paprika powder and the like, grill them until they blacken and then... food processor time! With peel and all. Makes a wonderful tapenade. I think it would be a good idea to form it into balls, roll them in breadcrumb and deep-fry them, but that might be less than, er, healthy ;-) T. |
