> > I've been wondering about the flavors of different oils. > > Olive oils are often mixed with vinegar and herbs to make a delicious light dressing (viniagrette) for greens or pasta or cooked vegetables. Make sure you use a vinegar worthy of the quality of the olive oil. You can make your own vinegar at home, far superior to any you can buy, from leftover wine. You can have three different vinegar barrels going, one for white wine vinegar (add only white wine), one for red wine vinegar (add any wine) and one for Sherry wine vinegar. These come with a terrific booklet of Favorite Wine Vinegar Recipes, from Franjoh Cellars, POB7462, Stockton, CA95207 The last known price was about $60 per barrel (a horiz. barrel somewhat less than a foot long and a half a foot high (in stand)), full of aged wine vinegar, and containing active vinegar mother for eternal production. You can bottle your own vinegar, and add different (fresh) spices to different bottles. -- exit {ucbvax,decvax,ihnp4}!sun!sunny (Sunny Kirsten of Sun Microsystems Inc.)
