Unless you are buying olive oil directly from a guy who makes it, you are eating soy oil with a hint of olive oil in it.

That may be true in your Baltic countries, but Trader Joe does not lie about olive oil.

I talked to Jeff Wittmer today.

Got labs drawn today, will have a consult soon.

Speaking of olive oil, we lost 20 liters of our family's oil into the bowels of the USPS international cargo depot in the spring. Shipped with no issue from Italy, got to the U.S., and then poof.

It was marked as "Olive Oil." Next time mark it "Urine Samples."

Yeah. Avocado oil. Just like my grandparents used and their grandparents before them.

Maybe I'm just a skeptical douchebag, but Imma pass on the "avocado oil" fad.

HAs anyone popped corn in beef fat? Ill bet it'd be delicious. Pop in fat or tallow, then add butter.

Yes, agreed. I tried it once for searing steaks in a cast iron pan. It does have a high smoke point, but I just went right back to rendering a little beef fat in the pan and searing in that. Ribeyes are fatty enough that they go straight onto the hot cast iron and I never have trouble with them sticking.

Trader Joe doesn't lie, because he doesn't know what he is selling.
Does he sell Trader Giuseppe olive oil or Trader Zhou's Giuseppe branded gutter oil?

So, it's ribeye popcorn then? Sounds great to me!

That's very harsh.

My firm had a client who went to federal prison for honey laundering. Mislabeling country of origin. Maybe it wasn't honey either. It happens.

I got a bunch of clients who grow olives. It is not even in question.
