I like the ideas in this thread. By the way, I am an olive oil snob. i used to just eat is with bread for the sheer pleasure of it's olivey taste. The greener and stronger, the better! My mother also enjoys real olive oil. I even baked cakes with it! Mm, mm, mm! So, a few years ago, I noticed as soon as the "olive oil" started to taste crummy. My mother and I tried several different kinds & I ended up calling several companies to ask them what was in their bottles labeled as olive oil! And I complained to my friends, though I guess most Americans prefer "light flavor olive oil." Then, two years later, I see that other people on the internet were complaining and when we asked a lady at the health food store last year, she said that indeed, others had started complaining, too. For the sake of NBE and taste buds, we must write to our congressmen! Haha!... but seriously, I miss the old stuff- let's get our pens and placards out. Heee!
