I found a recipe on here yesterday using palm oil which I didn't know much about but have found I can get it from the States reasonably priced BUT I now can't find the recipe! Can someone point me in the right direction please?

No. Don't do it at home as my doctor just it in the surgery every so often. No problems at all to date.

I eat them with fresh lemon juice. Yum yum! Have enjoyed oysters kilpatrick in the dim and distant past. Certainly can't afford to eat them often and I think this was the first time in many years. Did enjoy though :thumbup:
