Weekly oddity


I'm going to attempt to make this a feature on my blog. Here's this week's "huh?" moment.

That's beyond oddity.

Cat, if it's not rapeseed they've got in that box I have no idea what in the hell it could be. But I have to admit, I am damn curious.

Yeah, "huh" was all I could say!

Beckeye...blame it on the spousal unit, he sent it to me!

Up here, the body in charge of promoting that particular crop launched an effort to popularize the word "canola".

I guess "Canola Marketing Board" sounded better than "Rape Marketing Board".

Metro, I do recall canola oil showing up on the shelves when I was in my 20s and wondering where this new crop came from. Kinda like chilean sea bass - sounds much more cultured than patagonian toothfish.

I bet the Rape Marketing Board got some interesting inquiries though.
