Imposter olive oil

[shootingstar]

I've tried all sorts of oils over the years. And I have to admit olive oil is one of the oils I don't care much for, even though it's supposed to be good for you.

We always have 2 types of oil on hand at home: sunflower or safflower oil and olive oil. We use olive oil only for certain types of dishes..ie. non-Asian like dishes or for salad dressings. True olive oil just tastes wrong/too heavy with most Asian dishes, even a fusion dish.

Of course an imposter olive oil would not be as jarring in an Asian dish, because the olive flavour is not as strong. Therefore one definitely got ripped off on the pricing side for the oil.

I know I sound fussy, even snobbish. But this is no different than my fussiness for wanting certain grades, types of rice and price comparing.
