KTS, to eat smoked salmon just for something special like the birthday one time a year is not really bad.
Look at all the omega fatty acids in the fish too!!

did you ever actually try to smoke a salmon?

gets the rolling paper all scaly & soggy

I don't know where to get it in the states, but you guys should try fillets of smoked salmon if you haven't already

- fry 3 mins skinside, 4 mins other side over a light/medium heat. Serve with fine "french" beans and minted new potatoes (both covered in butter + sea salt) and a rocket + Parmesan salad. Whenever I cook it (about once every 2/3 weeks) I buy a second fillet just for me and eat two

Serve with (plenty of) chilled white wine and enjoy!

PS as for "regular" smoked salmon, smoked trout i think is more flavoursome and cheaper. Hot smoked salmon is also pretty delicious.

covered in butter and salt= heart attack on a plate. it was a struggle but i have eliminated butter,sugar,salt, and white flower from our home. you get more than enough from the foods you buy.

"The French paradox is only a paradox if one assumes that dietary fat is the major cause of obesity and cardiovascular disease," said Paul Rozin, professor of psychology at Penn and lead author of a paper in the September issue of the journal Psychological Science. "However, recent studies suggest that the importance of fat intake as a risk factor has been greatly exaggerated.

Just 7 percent of French adults are obese, as compared with 22 percent of Americans, and the mortality rate from heart disease is significantly lower in France.

Rozin and his colleagues weighed portions at 11 comparable pairs of eateries in Paris and Philadelphia, including fast-food outlets, pizzerias, ice cream parlors and a variety of ethnic restaurants. They found the mean portion size across all Paris establishments was 277 grams, compared to a mean in Philadelphia of 346 grams -- 25 percent more than in Paris."

I don't understand the relevance of this most mate...?

i) Portions in France are smaller than portions in Philadelphia - OK
ii) A smaller proportion of French people are obese than American people - OK
iii) Dietary fat may not be the major cause of dietary and heart disease - OK

So what?

You can eat butter, as long as you don't eat too much. You can eat salt, as long as you don't eat too much. You can drink beer, as long as you don't drink too much. Yoiu can eat sugar, as long as you don't eat too much... etc...

Because in France they eat (more) fat than Americans.
But France have less heart disease.

The stat about Heart disease, I can take at face value - but how do you infer that the French eat more fat than the Americans?

This is the whole paper research with more detail than the ScienceDaily article. But is the same study.


"The French eat what most people would consider a highly palatable diet,
containing more total fat and saturated fat than the American diet
(Drewnowski et al., 1996), and consume less of fat-reduced foods
(Rozin, Fischler, Imada, Sarubin, & Wrzesniewski, 1999)."

Eating less saturated fat causes less damage but the damage is still there nonetheless.
