I started making my own soap years ago... for me it was worth it. I didn't want the anti-bacterial or fragrance in it... used only olive oil (pomace), avocado oil, palm oil and coconut oil with the lye. (though I want to replace the palm oil in my recipe, what I have is supposedly ok environmentally, it is controversial) Check out brambleberry.com and they have a lye calculator and recipes as well.

    This should make any Brit feel good about American food. May I present to you another holiday treat? The Wisconsin Cannibal Sandwich, which is made from raw hamburger. (link1, link2)

    This is real. I remember it being served at a friends party when I was little... and my mom making sure I didn't eat any.
