cooking with olive oil really tastes better ??

To be honest i hate the taste. I bought it coz i have been hearing its healthy but cooking with it, it really tastes bad.

I haven't used any other oil so far, I put it in everything honestly.

@HannibalAteMeOut Of course you do, you are Greek! :-)

I remember a French chef from the Burgundy region saying his friends from the Côte d'Azure would end their friendship with him if he cooked their favourite dishes with butter instead of olive oil. lol

@Mugin16 I also love to dip bread into the oil that's left from the salad 😋

@HannibalAteMeOut I do the same!!
Its ok if you don't like it.
Loads of people do.
I hate any margerine substance made with olive oil, but I don't mind cooking with olive oil. Avocado oil though, tastes awful.

@TwiddlerofThumbs we mostly use sesame oil and vegetable oil for all the dishes.. But when i used olive oil i didn't get the taste..
@Lonelymanik If it is toasted sesame oil, olive would be a massive flavor change.

@TwiddlerofThumbs yes exactly. the taste was so raw. it was extra virgin olive oil.

It is not supposed to be for high temperature cooking.

And only if the flavor mashes well with the rest of the dish.

Beef dripping is where it's at for flavour, or goose grease

@Quizzical sorry we don't eat beef.

I only use when a recipe specifically calls for it
Lonelymanik · 31-35, M
@SW-User which i didn't know. i thought it's some oil where we can use it for all the purposes.

@Lonelymanik no, it's not to be used for all cooking, & extra virgin olive oil is for dressings not cooking
It smells bad if it's heated too high
Lonelymanik · 31-35, M
@SW-User oh ok.. why do you have to add oil by dressing ? I was sure i didn't use high heat but now i know the purpose

It depends what you are cooking with it
Yes it depends - if you are making pizza or pasta then you dont use veg oil - and you dont fry chicken in olive oil 🤢
@Lonelymanik olive oil has limited uses
Lonelymanik · 31-35, M
@MarmeeMarch oh i see. i have to figure it out.. Actually i bought it since i heard its healthy and i have seen Gordon Ramsay videos using olive oil all the time whenever he cooks something so i thought i should give it a try. But i didn't like it lol
@Lonelymanik Its an acquired taste. - I like it on Italian food - but not used to fry Chinese egg rolls.
