Sorry to burst your bubble but I’m not American. However, your assumption that my view must be American, specifically due to you intensly eurocentric view, is painfully ironic.

For some people making Indian, Mexican, Thai or Chinese food with olive oil isn’t tasty, as (believe it or not) olives don’t actually go with everything.

I mean, I listed more than just Italian but I guess that’s inconvenient for the point you’re attempting to make.

I am being free. It’s just im using my freedom not to make my food taste weird. People can use a neutral oil like vegetable oil for almost everything.

Careful climbing down from that high horse.

News flash buddy, taste is subjective.

Use olive oil for whatever you like. Don’t use it for whatever you like.

I’ll use it for what I like. I like to fry my onions and garlic with olive oil. 👌💪

Peace! ✌️

  That’s not what saying something like that would mean but I’m not going to laugh at someone who isn’t a native speaker for that. It’s a weird reply though.
  
  My point is that you don’t have to use olive oil. I just said it in a silly way. It’s a prompt for the realisation of “oh yeah, I could use other oils. Other oils exist.” You don’t seem to have picked up on that and have chosen taken it personally, on behalf of olive oil. Theres no need. The oil doesn’t care.
  
  Good luck with the olive oil fried rice though!

    I know what you meant. I know you meant figuratively. I speak and write at a native level. My reply was meant to be facetious. I’m not going to laugh at someone who can’t detect sarcasm though. 👍👍

    I told you, I want to. I know I don’t have to. I am the one reaching for my own ingredients when I cook. Nobody is forcing me.
    
    I don’t use it for everything. Not sausages, not burgers, etc. But when I fry vegetables and onions and roots, usually, yes.

    Weird wish. I never make fried rice, but thanks I guess. 🤨😐
    
    Peace! ✌️
