Interesting. Must be a cultural thing. If you told people here to use mineral 
oil on wooden bowls they'd be shocked and disgusted. It took me a long time 
to wrap my head around the idea that we aren't talking about gasoline or 
motor oil. Linseed oil is sort of the default option, every woodworker I know 
recommends it (some also use gun oil, though they don't like to talk about 
that).
