Apparently Brits are too shy to ask for Pollack! Tsk leave the country for 19 years and everyone goes soft in the head...

I have to say that my first thought was that this must be connected to the large number of Polish people now living in Britain. But no, apparently pollack is too close to bollocks for some.

It's Canola in the US & Canada. It was specifically bred in Canada to be low in erucic acid, so the name comes from CANadian Oil LOw Acid.
