Today's most interesting pickup....

I've been cooking with algae oil for the past 5 months, so I figured it might be time to try something different. This does have a bunch of other stuff in it besides just bacon grease, but I'm willing to give it a shot. I have cooked with lard in the past as my primary cooking fat, so this might just be an unnecessary extra in comparison. 

Have you tried this? What type of oil/fat do you cook with normally?

I use mostly olive oil for cooking, occasionally ghee or coconut oil for more flavor.

In the rarer times I cook bacon at home, I save the grease. Was taught that by Texan moms growing up.

Sometimes we also get lucky and get gifted duck fat by a friend whose family raises them.

Never tried algae oil though. What does it taste like?

Algae oil is pretty flavorless. I like the idea of how "sustainable" it apparently is. Altho I've never dug into it fully to see how true that is. Lots of embodied cost building the facility at first I am sure.
