Canadian oil, low acid

When we first arrived in Zürich we stayed in a temporary apartment which we subletted from one of ZDG's colleagues.  When I investigated the oil and vinegar cupboard, I found a couple different bottles of Rapsöl, which translated as rapeseed oil.  We weren't sure if it was more a salad oil or a cooking oil, so we purchased some olive oil and have been using it for everything, including cooking Asian food.  We looked for Canola oil, but could never find any at the grocery store.

Today ZDG learned that Canola is actually a short form for "Canadian oil, low acid" and is a type of rapeseed oil.  And now you know too, if you didn't already know.
