Start talking about coconut oil.

[Guest guest]

My first experience with coconut oil was in 1939. My Father took me with

him, to help his baseball, football, hockey associate chum, build shelves

and paint a new grocery

store, and French Pastry Shop. I was 8 years old and the store was located

next to the fire station. The two large front display windows were specially

designed to display

the French Pastery. Enclosed with cheese cloth protection. Lou had imported

a small skinny French pastry cook, who insisted he would only bake his

pastry using coconut

oil. The business was very successful. About three years later coconut oil

became scarce, hard to buy, because of the war. Synthetic manufactured oils

replaced the coconut

oil. Sales of French pastry dropped off. I was off and away from the store

for a few years. After the war it took several years to get permission to

import coconut oil from

the Pacific area. The synthetic oils caused Lou's customers to put on a lot

of weight . He built a new bigger store as soon as he was able to get

coconut oil again. The store

was a great success . Everybody was enjoying their slim & trim French

pastry . Bernard Cain

That is one interesting story.  I love the fact that the manufactured oils

caused weight gain... I bet they changed the tasted too!

Thanks
