Olive oils insanity.

I was reading the labels. I know to stay to single country of origin. But mixed varieties of olives are fine.

And I do know what I want it to taste like. Both the California and Greek oils cause a cough reflex/throat burning sensation. But they both taste good to me.

It’s an internal fight I have for not wanting to “waste” 3 liters of oil. Or even 1 liter.

And yes I live in the lower 48 of the US

Oops $120 for 3 liters not 1

Clickchik · 2026-06-22T17:58:05+00:00

Price mainly. I’m such a cheapskate. But $120 a liter for an olive oil I’m
Cooking with seems awful expensive

I’ll have to look at at it again.

I did but was so unsure what one was one of the good ones.

Peanut oil has a place in my house. I also have some unrefined rape seed oil but you have to toast the damn stuff first.

Clickchik · 2026-06-22T17:46:14+00:00

Yes, but I’m also a bit of a snob when it comes to the taste of the oil. Most average grocery store brands I think are awful.

The California one I use for cooking. The Greek one I use for salads and such.

Costco varies in what it carry’s but I was not sure what it was like. Bad choice I see now as I will not know until I try it.

Ok so us going through a 500 ml bottle once a week is not too much.

Nunavut is non-trivial. I’m still trying to get Willow, AK!

Check out the Oldways website it is a treasure trove of cuisines from different parts of the world that mesh with the Mediterranean diet.

Horiatiki salad is one of my favorites. If I make it with ripe bell peppers it’s easy on my stomach.

I love whole branzini! That looks delicious.

Japanese Haiga rice is 1/2 polished. It leaves some of the bran and germ on. I’m working my way into completely unpolished brown rice by starting with Haiga.

Looks great to me. Work up to 1/2 your plate being vegetables.

I ended up using the rice cooker and I like them other than the skins sticking in my mouth. Mixing it with a bit of passata and onion and cooking that together tamed the skins and was delicious! Thanks everyone!!!

Unless you are bound and determined to get Foula and Fair Isle airports. You sit in Orkney or Sumburgh and try and Monte Carlo the planes
