> I very much enjoy a really good quality olive oil with bread, but I would never call it a "feast, Figure of speech. But yes, it is incredibly good. Unfortunaly, you won't find it at the grocery store, no matter what the bottle says.

Yes, I can find it in the grocery store. I also have bought it from specialty shops (which aren't exactly rare). My grocery store also sells fresh squeezed orange and grapefruit juice they juice every morning and fresh mozzarella they make every day in the store and probably some other fancy stuff I'm not aware of. I know people who buy the low quality oil because they prefer it. My grandmother preferred corn fed beef to grass fed beef. But its pointless, because you'll just tell me I'm wrong and your olive oil is so much better than mine because all your posts here are just "my tastes in food are so much more sophisticated than all the peons."

  > I know people who buy the low quality oil because they prefer it. My grandmother preferred corn fed beef to grass fed beef. I had a roommate in college who couldn't stand the taste of anything that wasn't aggressively processed. He would take a microwaved TV dinner over a home-cooked meal in a heartbeat. He was also the pickiest eater I've ever met. The only thing he really liked was meat seasoned with whatever stuff Stouffer's and Hungry Man put in it (I'm guessing lots of salt). Didn't like Chinese food, or pretty much anything ethnic. Didn't like anything with sauce on it. He wouldn't eat chili dogs because he said the chili sauce was gross. Whenever we'd get him to try something new, he'd take a few bites of it, say "it's dead to me", and then push it away. At one point, we dragged him to a Chinese restaurant, he only got fried rice, and then did exactly that with the fried rice he got... and then to make a point, he stuck his chopsticks in it vertically to make it clear that it was now an offering to the dead. He was a strange person, though I understand he's changed a lot since college.

    Kinda charming that someone who hated Chinese food nevertheless knew about chopstick etiquette.
