Sunflower oil is one of the worst industrial seed oils. These things are in most processed foods which is a big part of why they’re so dreadful for our health. Shortage of this stuff is a good thing frankly, but they’ll use something else almost as bad. Lard, butter, dripping used here, with a bit of ev olive oil for salads.

Edit; don’t know why the link shows not vailable. Search on Youtube for;

The $100 Billion Dollar Ingredient making your Food Toxic​

It’s defo available.

This is spot on. My wife had beginning of it in fingers, cut out veg oil products and it went. It’s amazing how quickly the symptoms come back if she falls off the wagon - crisps, biscuits etc.

This is really interesting as my wife has arthritis. Where does olive oil fit in here? Mrs Bg is now thinking of what oil she cooks with.

Olive oil is mostly monounsaturated so isn’t chock full of the omega 6 fatty acids that are linked to inflammation and various other health issues. Olive oil is kind of in a category of its own. Seek out cold pressed or extra virgin olive oil, some olive oil is processed industrially using high temps and chemicals and this processing is extremely damaging in itself.

Extra virgin is ok, but not the light olive oil. I don’t remember the exact reason, it’s something to do with the clarifying process, may use chems for it, I can’t remember, she does majority of shopping so it’s just not bought.

Doesn’t like rapeseed oil either 🙄

I must admit I was pretty sceptical as some of the stuff she insists is healthy goes thru like a dose of salt, but I was getting aches in my shoulders last year and she convinced me to cut out the crisps and biscuits from lunchtime and I do feel better for it, the aches have gone away.

cook with either butter, dripping or duck/goose fat here. Should really get cholesterol checked to see if she’s right….

Cholesterol. Now there’s a rabbit hole you’ll disappear down for months once you start taking an interest…..

this is how we were taught to make pastry in the days when people routinely made pastry
I must admit, when I cook a steak and kidney pie, I use bought in pastry, ready made. I know I shouldn't, but I figure a little cheat is allowed (when I make a lasagne, I use a jar of white sauce in the layers, but when I make a fisherman's pie I make my own cheese sauce).
