In Austria they do goose dripping with fried onions or pork crackling in them. I go an extra bit and use it instead of butter, with salami on top.

Olive Oil

Or with eggs and bacon, just fry the bacon first then the eggs (and normally after that baked beans).

Or cube chicken breast and fry it in peanut butter... get the oil and the peanuts add to the taste and texture... very quick too.

Olive oil from my granpapa's fields in Olympia

Olive oil...

...Good Greek extra virgin ( its a myth extra virgin burns fast, its very pure and doesnt smoke easily ) olive oil....

... not the yellow cheap one Tesco/ASDA and the lot is selling...

...olive in this country is usually sold in small 500ml bottles which last me less than a week

...

...but I sometimes get my hands on 3 litre ones which do better, it reminds me of Greece and the 5 litre tins olive oil is usually sold in...

...for less than 1 litre costs here...

...In any case good olive oil is so expensive that it costs me a fortune but I manage...

P.S : Idomeneas, your nick hints more towards olive groves in Crete

P.S 2: Send me some of that olive oil

Sesame Oil.

It gives your food a wonderfully nutty flavour

Depends on the job in hand, I guess...Olive Oil is good for most things and gives a lovely flavour, but veggie stuff's better for stir fries/curries (not quite convinced on the curries, though...) also butter for eggs. and bananas. Yes, you heard me...
