Re: LQD: Monbiot: Meat a worse crime than biofuels (none / 1)

500 ml. a week?

wow. Let's see - about 2 l. of milk, 250-300 ml of cream, 350g. of butter and 1.5 kg of cheese.

Meatwise - 1-1.5 kg, including seafood.

No butter for me - just rape seed oil. I've moved off olive oil since I've tasted virgin canola (made in Finland). However I do use Ghee in my Indian dishes.

Meatwise about the same for me, but not counting guests.

BTW I use 7% fat cream and low fat yoghurts, buttermilk and Quark - whatever that mght be in English.

How do you cook with 7% cream? I tend to use 'heavy' cream which is I think 30-35%. and isn't rapeseed oil completely tasteless?

btw quark - roughly cottage cheese.

I use this stuff. mixed with other dairy - usually plain yoghurt (remember to add at low temperature).

Virgin rape oil is very tasty!

I guess it must be all the vowels they put in it.

"Vowels for the Bowels"

Did you not know this is the Finnish motto?

I just don't cook with cream very often, but on those odd occasions I tend to find the richest organic farmhouse cream I can. Likewise with butter - we haven't had any in the house for weeks now, but I try to cook with the best I can find when I do. What's the point otherwise?
