    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.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    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

Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."

    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...
