[edit] Choice of oils

Since the List of vegetable oils is larger than the template, what is the logic for including and excluding particular oils? Badagnani 05:02, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I've included the "major oils", plus grapeseed oil, which should probably be moved to "major oils" on that list. Really, I'd like to include all of the oils on the template, but I'm concerned about how large it would make the template. Peter G Werner 05:21, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I went through the list and I think your selection is good. The design of the template is nice and the olive green color gives it some nice punch. I think almond and walnut (as nut oils), and maybe also pumpkin seed, might be added but otherwise it's a good list. Some templates, such as Template:Nationalanthemsoftheworld, can be very large!

I agree with your additions – go ahead and add them if I don't do so first. At some point soon, I'll even experiment with adding everything on the list and see how large it makes things. Peter G Werner 06:00, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

maybe fats shouldnt link to the disambiguation page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.167.130.172 (talk) 21:40, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Almond oil

Almond oil is certainly used as much as any of the more expensive nut oils, particularly for cold dishes, salad dressings, etc. See http://ranchmarketsnapavalley.com/index.php?cPath=11_38&osCsid=b67a99f7b1c2af695529aceb449f09cb Badagnani 23:37, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dripping

Shouldn't dripping be included? DuncanHill (talk) 05:52, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Good call! It seems like it should. Is bacon grease a subset of drippings? Badagnani (talk) 05:53, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't say so - dripping is got from a roast, bacon fat (UK usage) from frying bacon. DuncanHill (talk) 05:56, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Why don't you add both of them. I can't think of any others. Badagnani (talk) 06:09, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

I think the article should be at Drippings. I've never heard it called "dripping" in the singular. Badagnani (talk) 06:10, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

I've only ever heard it in the singular! Maybe different usages in different countries? DuncanHill (talk) 06:13, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm in the U.S. I think one molecule would be "dripping" but anything more than one drop would be "drippings." Badagnani (talk) 06:22, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

You're from Cornwall? Did you ever listen to John Surman's music? He's a jazz baritone saxist from England, and did a whole album based on places in Cornwall. Badagnani (talk) 06:25, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
