Vlad (the impala) Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 if you use the "search" thingy, you may be able to find a thread yonks ago on the subject - you can use spices, or citrus peel (make sure its organic or unwaxed - most oranges and lemons are coated with a particularly nasty pesticide!) - vanilla, cinammon etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilcookieli Posted May 25, 2004 Author Share Posted May 25, 2004 thats so cool, thanks man...... have you tryed it? what tastes the best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad (the impala) Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 never tried myself, but I seem to remember several people had done, with varying degrees of success - worth a few minutes looking for that thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangerous Beans Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 (edited) most oranges and lemons are coated with a particularly nasty pesticide! Sorry to go off topic, but would this pesticide wash off? My mum uses grated orange peel in cakes. Edited May 25, 2004 by Dangerous Beans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad (the impala) Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 in a word- no! - its incorporated in the wax coating, which you can't ever satisfactorily remove - organic or unwaxed is the only way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangerous Beans Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Ive just checked and we already get organic oranges . But i'm told orange peel is common in cakes, so they really should stop coating it in chemicals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad (the impala) Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 its the "supermarket syndrome" - blast 'em with wax containing "icides" - stops 'em going off in transit - means they can treat them badly, and they still look good on the shelves! That's why you have to pay extra for organic, its not just growing 'em properly, they have to be looked after better in transit too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangerous Beans Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 People say that supermarkets have brought prices down. It seems to me that the prices have stayed about the same but people think they have fallen because of all the new cheap rubbish supermarkets sell. I like those little stalls small farms set up by the roadside selling free range eggs etc. You dont get stuff thats all the same size like in super markets, you get stuff that tastes nice instead.
