How low on avocado do you need to be to not be allowed to say that it's guac? 3.5% will certainly do it.

Hasn't it always been called rapeseed in the UK?

As I understand it, canola oil as a term is used predominantly only in the US and Canada, with canola itself being a portmanteau of Can -adian and Oil

CANadian Oil, Low Acidity

Edit: apparently that's a myth? It's ola as in oil

Not a myth. CAN-OLA came from a lab in canada.The rapeseed article on wiki has a section about it.

It's the -ola part I'm not sure about. "Can" 100% stands for Canada, no question about it
