    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! ✌️
