Posted by Fred G on Wed Sep 5 03:43:12 2007, in response to Re: More insane laws, posted by Olog-hai on Wed Sep 5 00:58:33 2007. I'm talking from a flavor perspective. Trans fat is merely a cheap substitute for better tasting products, like (for me) olive oil or animal fats like butter, lard, or schmalz. All fat carries its set of risks which are minimized by eating them in moderation, something we tend to forget. I don't use hydrogenated oil either. I use extra virgin olive oil for probably 95% of what I cook. It tastes better than other vegetable based oils. It also has a smoke point of around 350 deg so it's suitable for any cooking, including deep frying, if one is so inclined. And yes, pony up the extra dinero for extra virgin as it is markedly better tasting than the regular stuff. I hate to sound like an ad but I can't say enough good about the stuff.your pal, Fred |
