<pre>Hi John,Volker and other good folks,

For whatever it's worth, I use such recipes as a part of my marketing of
olive oils. I've tried to impress multi-purpose uses on the Americans
and Canadians to whom I market extra-virgin olive oil. I'm dealing with
aromatherapists and massage therapists who use the oils in blends with
essential oils (steam distilled from aromatic plants) and I want to give
them ideas on use of these oils which are beyond therapy and salads ...
I sell olive oils in 250 ml bottles and bulk, by the kg. I understand
the purpose of the list, and I don't want to see it change to a culinary
digest, but production is not the whole ballgame when it comes to olive
oil production, folks selling the product and trying to open new markets
are an integral part of the process. Perhaps the objections are not so
much of a matter of not wanting to see recipes as they are a resistence
to change. That's my two cents on this.

Best regards,

Butch Owen, Ankara
