General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Shall not have a shop until next week, so not encountered the rationing yet.

I don't use Sunflower oil, but guess there is a knock-on effect to availability of other oils.

I do use Olive Oil.
For frying steak and suchlike, I use Rice Bran Oil: it costs a little more, but has high smoke point, and compared with alternatives, leave a pleasant aroma in kitchen.

I gather that Rape Seed Oil is plentiful available, it is widely used in Industry, but I think the non-food grades are toxic, and cannot be switched into the food chain.

Have you had to adopt alternatives to your usual choices?

When first I learned to cook, it was commonplace to fry in Butter; not a health alternative, I guess.

I know many still swear by lard or beef-dripping for chips, Yorkshires and suchlike.

Prepare for more fatburgers blocking t drains!
