<pre>Thanks to Guido, Brian, and Mohamed for your illuminating comments about
tasting oil and other relevant issues. I will work them into Dica Olio
before I put it up on my web site (www.realgoodfood.com).

On an unrelated topic, yesterday NPR (National Public Radio, the US public
radio network) carried a story about Israelis' "rediscovering" olive oil
and the growth in demand for oil from mostly Arab producers. Very
interesting, and maybe a small step towards peace...both Arab and Jew
should be able to agree that olive oil makes food taste great. I have't
checked, but many NPR stories are available on their web site (npr.org) in
Real Audio format.
