Am I being thick, is it down to hygeine? Then surely we should all use disposable plates and cutlery as well.
When are the salted nuts going to disappear from off the bar, or even the wine glasses hanging upside down, collecting all the bad breath, coughs and sneezes, and once even tobacco smoke, are these going to be next?
Well....I am not an expert on olive oil.......but, i use a lot of olive oil on tomato bread at breakfast and liberally over salads.

There are various grades of olive, various prices and one can be easily conned.

Almost 700 people died, it is believed, as a consequence of consuming rapeseed (canola) oil adulterated with aniline intended for use as an industrial lubricant, but sold in 1981 as olive oil in Spain (see toxic oil syndrome).

I suppose, that with this new EU directive, one can be as sure as possible, that you are getting what the label says.

Remember the horsemeat scandal?
indeed sqad but wine carafes are still to be allowed, so its okay to con us over wine but not over olive oil?
But you could say that about almost anything though really, they could be using Castrol GTX in the kitchen to cook with.
Won't affect me, I only use it to often ear wax. :)

What about them little bowls of jam and cream that you get with an Afternoon Tea, will they be banned as well in favour of pre packed generic rubbish.
Don't shoot the messenger.......I was just suggesting a reason.

I presume by getting rid of the oil at the table, they will have to get rid of the little bottles of balsamic as well. The server will have to make up the dipping dish at the table. It`s not the end of the world, I suppose.
Lol, poor sqad :0)

Actually, you would be very lucky to find out what is in the bottle or jug from reading the label. In his book 'Extra Virginity: The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil'
http://books.wwnorton.com/books/Extra-Virginity/
Tom Mueller exposes an extraordinary world of deception, for example, Italy is unable to produce sufficient olive oil to meet its own consumption, let alone provide for most of Europe.
Castrol GTX in the kitchen to cook with.


Gawd, no rocky, wouldn't waste that on cooking ;-)
Lol, Tony it was the only oil I could think of, is it still about?
I think it is rocky, although I'm a Mobil 1 guy, my self. ;-)
In a question earlier this week I gave a few reasons why I had no liking for the EU. This can be added to my list.

There is no earthly reason why the EU should dictate to member states whether or not they allow olive oil jugs on restaurant tables. As far as I am aware there is no common health or hygiene regulations, but if there are there should not be. It should be entirely a matter for individual nations to determine such matters.
Question Author
" It should be entirely a matter for individual nations to determine such matters. "

and we all know what the eussr thinks of individual nations and what it has in store for them, dont we !?
Regardless of what you think of the EU, you cannot possibly compare it to the USSR and expect to be taken seriously.

Those who change the EU are often ignored. Those who challenged the USSR were sent off to gulags, where you either starved, froze or worked to death.
Ha ha! They'll have a lot of luck with that on the continent! :o)
