Good find. Note they found the KFC to be saltier. So KFC's garlic salt and
celery salt must have a higher salt content than what the author bought
from her store.

Maybe KFC bleaches the color out of their paprika?

Worth a shot. I last ate KFC in 1987. I'll try it but I will use lard as
does KFC or at very least vegetable shortening. Canola does have a flavor
of its own. The flavor would be very close but since KFC uses pressure
cookers, the texture and juiciness would not be the same. The thing about a
pressure cooker is that to take the lid off you have to release the steam
and let it cool down. That means the oil gets into the meat Pop that lid
off while it is hot and you will be in the burn ward for 3 months.

Sorry to hear of your problem. My guess is that you cannot digest oil.

The article is a fail. They should have gotten someone that knows how to make fried chicken - someone like me. As I recall, at KFC, the chicken is first dredged in flour, then in an egg wash, then back into the flour. The real secret to making great fried chicken is not over cooking it. That lady messed up!

Canola oil is one of the industrial seed oils. They are high in Omega-6s.
They depress the immune system and create inflammation. Best are animal
fats, fruit oils (olive, avocado, palm), and tree nut oils (coconut,
macadamia, almond, walnut, pecan, hazelnut).

I'd like to know that too. According to a food scientist, canola oil is
the oil with the least amount of saturated fat, beating sunflower and
olive oil.

Of course, this isn't a bonus if you're a carbophobe and follow the idea
that eating lots of saturated fats helps you eat less carbs.

Are we caring about this? All I care about is the taste. Heated
canola smells (and therefore tastes) a little fishy to me. I use
it for oiling the grates on my grill, but otherwise I only eat it
cold. I generally sauté in olive oil, but on the rare occasions
I want a neutral oil, I use peanut oil.

The stink was bred out of Canola.

Yeah...what's with all the anti-canola? It's a neutral oil imo. I've
never noticed a distinct taste or smell. It's supposedly healthier than
average too. Olive oil is the other good one but I only use that for
added ingredient for taste, not for frying.

Perhaps it's one of those cases where different sensory apparatus
detects different things. For me, it's fine until it's heated.
Then it smells fishy. I think others can detect some off flavors/odors
even when it's cold.

Well, next time I cook with it you'll have me sniffing it. I've never
noticed an odor.

I just sniffed my unused bottle. It does have a smell but not fishy and
I've never noticed a taste other than the food that I cook.

Maybe I should try peanut oil. Don't think I've ever used it.

[jinx the minx]

I recently bought some "omega 3 DHA" canola oil and oh my gosh is that
stuff terrible. I thought if I cooked with it the fishy smell might
dissipate but it didn't. I only used it once and threw it out. Otherwise
I've never thought canola to be fishy smelling.

I fried up some chicken last night. These were cheap frozen thighs in a 5 lb box. It's the way we bought chicken back in the good old days. We didn't have no fancy schmancy chicken in a package back then - and that's the way we liked it! I was filled with trepidation since I haven't tried chicken that way since the 70's and only God knows what might be in the box. As it goes, the chicken was fine, there was small pieces and large pieces and some looked a little funny but It's not bad for two solid meals and a couple of snacks.

My chicken was pretty great but it didn't taste like KFC. It had a distinct onion taste because chopped dehydrated onion was added to the flour mix. The chicken was moistened in water and dredged in the flour mix and allowed to sit for a while. The chicken was fried on medium heat for about 25 minutes. I turn the chicken frequently, about 12 times. I don't cover the chicken and let it stew because that's not the kind of person I am. :)

I switched to TJ's sunflower oil a year or so ago, but I don't use it
very much because I don't do much high heat cooking. Most of my
cooking involves EVOO. You could call my style Mediterranean, so
whatever flavor it imparts simply adds to the dish.

I don't think the Mediterranean area cooks with EVOO. It is used for
flavoring. They cook with "pure olive oil", which is not EVOO.

I don't care what they cook with, that's what I use.

I haven't seen that about cilantro, I have lost that soap
flavor thing but it used to taste that way to me. Blech.
But I know it's some genetic thing and that other people
didn't get that soap flavor and certainly I didn't tell other
people they were wrong about it.

Actually, someone said I was weird when I said it tasted like
soap to me.

When I first tasted cilantro, it tasted soapy and I didn't like it.
Repeated exposure has accustomed me to the taste. It still tastes
a little soapy, but not in a bad way. Clearly, I don't have the
"I hate cilantro" gene; I just had to educate my palate. I now
love cilantro, and use it often and in large quantities.

My pee stinks when I eat asparagus, but cilantro is delicious. Now I
have a question. As I was an angel as a child and never swore, I didn't
have to eat soap and was encouraged not to do so. I see that many of

Strictly coincidentally there was something in the paper yesterday about
a local place making egg creams, and you could get it in vanilla using
vanilla syrup, as you say.

I'd been wondering about it myself.
