One of the worst mistakes we made in cooking is switching from oils derived from animals to ones derived from seed oils. Beef tallow -as this cook uses (1:26 - 1:40) - lard, duck fat, and butter are far better, not only in terms of flavor, but in terms of health as well. Many may find the latter assertion preposterous, because many of those people are basing their ideas of nutrition around data that is decades old, which is based on shoddy epidemiology and spurious inferences made from such population studies.
@randomoneforstuff36969 ай бұрын
That is debatable. While the high omega 6 to omega 3 ratio in chemically extracted seed oils is truly disastrous, non-GMO expeller pressed versions oftentimes are very heart healthy, especially compared to animal fats which are shown to be increase one's risk for colorectal cancer. The idea that all saturated fat is unhealthy, like you said, is preposterous. However, no study ever hints to a correlation between animal fats and good health; in fact, usually the opposite is found. From Harvard Health: "Heart disease risk was lower when unhealthy saturated fat (i.e. chemically extracted seed oils), refined carbohydrates (like bread), or trans fat (i.e. shortening / hydrogenated vegetable oil) was replaced by plant-based monounsaturated fat (like olive or avocado oil), but not by animal-based monounsaturated fat (like lard). Higher intake of the plant-based fats was associated with a 16% lower risk of dying from any cause. In contrast, higher intake of the animal-based fats was linked to a 21% higher risk of dying from any cause."

French fries were first invented in Morecambe in 1898. They were made to celebrate the French poodle of the Lord Mayor of Morecambe. They then were exported to the United States of America by the Family of George Washington who lived in Morecambe but moved to the USA because they didn't like the cold winters of Lancashire.

do more research and read more scientific articles mate, beef tallow or animal fat handle heat much better over time. vegetable oil is highly processed with heat and chemical, what you see in the bottle is already bleached and deodorize to get rid of the odor and dark color, these oils turn dark way faster than tallow or lard. Your McD uses frying oil because it's cheaper, that's all

Belgium has, without any doubt, one of the finest French fries culture and its twice fried in beef tallow recipe is one of the best. But French fries were invented in Paris, France and the best recipe is English, thanks to Heston Blumenthal.
@Robalogot9 ай бұрын
The first time fries were sold was in Paris, but the invention is still unclear, even though there's a lot of circumstantial evidence that points to Belgium. Mainly the ports of Bruges, Ghent and Antwerp at the time were the center of trade and is how potatoes entered Europe. Because of the high population during the Middle Ages, waterways got polluted and fish stayed away. So people started to substitute fish with potatoes and chicken. So we know of other dishes, and we know that in Belgium fried strips of fish was one of the main dishes before the fish supply ended. The fact that it's still heavily rooted in Belgian culture throughout the region also suggests that people never thought it was special enough to sell. So the current hypotheses is that a French person ate some fries in Belgium and thought it would work in Paris. Think of it like Italians starting a pizza shop in New York, even though in Italy it was just regular food of the people.
@adrienhb87639 ай бұрын
@@Robalogot Where did you get your story? Cause there was no potatoes during the Middle ages. And usually that story is set in the XVIIth century, but fat was too expensive for farmers to use for cooking. According to the Liège University (yes a Belgian one), fries were indeed created in Paris at the beginning of the XIXth century, even at the end of the XVIIIth century. They arrived in Brussels around 1838 thanks to a German born fairground dealer who learned the recipe… in Paris. So yes fries are French, the Belgian have had the best recipe for decades, but since 1992 the best recipe is English.
