<x-charset ISO-8859-1>Ernest, I'd agree with everything you wrote (and I've snipped most of it out of consideration to the folks in digest mode) except I'd point out that in many parts of the US (and in many other countries) Chinese restaurants are everywhere, and many of them have excellent oil. My experience is that the more volume the place does, and the more $ they're making, the more frequently they can afford to change their oil - so look for a busy place and they'll probably have better oil. Also, the better the food/more high-end the place, same thing.
