from a previous life. Some electrical utility guys had some down time and decided to cook fish in transformer oil. This was before knowledge about PCBs was generally available - even among those who worked with it. Supposedly nobody suffered ill effects. But that was almost 50 years ago when I heard this story, and it’d supposedly happened some years prior to that.
