“My understanding is that it will make you ill.” (rancid oil)

Rancid oil won’t make you sick at the time you ingest it. Over time, if you kept eatins it, I read it can damage your DNA and set you up for some cancers.

However, if you have ever smelled rancid oil, YOU AREN’T GOING TO USE IT. I had some olive oil in a pretty bottle and it was in there for quite a while. I decided to use some and nearly threw up from the smell.

So, if the oil you use has an off smell, dump it - your future health will thank you. It may be olive oil smells worse than any other oil when it goes rancid. Man, it was really, really, bad.

Man, it was really, really, bad.

Sounds like it could be used against "zombies" as a bio-toxin stand off weapon. Just have to design a proper delivery platform. I wonder if it would keep critters away from the garden or draw them?

One would think....

There was a woman my brother was dating, who decided to impress him with her culinary skills. So, for Christmas she baked all kinds of things. Brownies, cookies, cakes. . . This was how he discovered that crisco spoils.

He broke up with her shortly after that. For many reasons, but I still think her cooking was part of it.
