What is your lipid of choice most often when cooking?

Lucini says that it is 100% Italian Olives. It's one of my favorites.

I always use butter for almost eveything, especially breakfast when I make eggs.

Can't imagine using olive oil to fry eggs, so I agree with you there.

[Food Network Fan]

Yes I agree on that one too. But most often I use olive oil. I don't fry eggs that often though.

Thank you Suzie!

That's the brand I meant to post about (I corrected my original post to reflect this).

Best brand I've found so far.

Yes and the bottle looks lovely in your kitchen, my little oil spout fits perfect. Some bottles have too big of an opening and I can't use it.

I use extra virgin olive oil for most everything but, if the flavor is too overpowering, I'll use just regular olive oil. But for mild stuff like eggs, I'll stick to butter.

Olive oil seems to be the winner.

Reach for olive oil more than any other. If using something else it would be canola or real butter!

I really enjoy adding some dried herbs, cracked black pepper, and some salt to olive oil, and dip bread in it.

When a group of us went out to lunch last week, the server brought us butter with olive oil poured over it. It was horribly messy and none of us liked that idea. I'm not big on olive oil for bread but you got it regardless. They said the new owners thought that would be good idea.

I use both olive oil and butter to cook with. Just depends on what I'm making.
