It's not a neutral taste. There are folks here you say that you are
very non-discerning about food. In this case, they'd be correct.
Soy oil is the cheapest, shittiest tasting oil, other than maybe
Canola. There's a reason why those of us who can taste the
difference don't buy cheap, shitty oils. Even me, who is Mr.
Frugality wouldn't use soy oil for anything other than starting a
campfire. Sunflower oil is neutral. Peanut oil is reasonably
neutral. Soy oil is just cheap.

How much soybean oil have you tasted? I've tasted a lot of olive oil. It has a paint thinner taste to me. I'd be stupid to eat something that tastes like that. Don't give me that "you should be eating a more expensive, brand." That line is a lot of hogwash. They all have that unpleasant taste. My guess is that you're tasting old, used, soy bean oil.

I can understand disliking olive oil. What I don't get is thinking
soybean oil is neutral.

It looks like one of my tenants is moving out. I hope the other one
has found a new housemate, or can handle the rent by himself
until he does. The guy is loading up a Uhaul truck at 6 in the
freakin' morning, when it's still pitch dark and is 25F.

It's actually kind of unusual when someone moves out before dawn, and
without telling the landlord beforehand. Besides, I have *real* tenants, and I
posted that in real time. Is that different enough for you?

I do. Olives taste like olives, olive oil tastes like paint thinner. That's so weird.

It is. I like the paint thinner version and never eat olives. Add some
herbs and it is good for bread dipping.

Evidently, there's a lot of people that don't mind the taste of paint thinner. My guess is that it reminds them of happier times painting things. I have eaten bread dipped in olive oil and balsamic. It's okay because you're with other people and we're waiting for food to come. I've been working on some olive and cheese salad given to me by a co-worker. It's olives and feta cheese in olive oil. It taste fine to me. No paint thinner in that one. That might be because I'm eating it cold.
I will partake of the oil of olives sometimes but the idea of cooking with the stuff is not appealing at all.

LOL I cannot think of dsi1 as a fan of olives or olive oil simply
because Asian people don't tend to cook with olive oil. Then again he
thinks "Italian" food is found at Olive Garden.

The taste of olives depends mostly on how they are processed. Canned
olives are basically substandard at the best of times. Canned black
olives are an abomination. I get olives only in delis or at grocery
store olive bars, and both typically have at least a half dozen
varieties. As for paint thinner..... I disagree, My preferred grease for
a grilled cheese sandwich is olive oil. Speaking of which, it is lunch
time here. I think that is what I will have for lunch.

I've had olive oil that tasted like paint thinner. One reason I tend
to be brand-loyal on olive oil is to avoid that. I hated to dump
out a $15 bottle of olive oil, but there's no way I could have
eaten it.

My grilled cheese was delicious. I had a couple slices of whole wheat
bread, some slices of old cheddar, a slice of tomato and thinly sliced
red onion. I assembled the sandwich and then poured a little olive oil
into a hot pan. I swirled it around, laid the sandwich in the pan and
smeared it around in the pan, gave it three minutes, lifted out the
sanwich and added a little more oil, set it back in and gave it another
three minutes, then another minute on each side. Delicious.

Don't give me that "you should be eating a more expensive, brand." That line is a lot of hogwash. They all have that unpleasant taste. My guess is that you're tasting old, used, soy bean oil.

Fair enough. I have a friend who likes the taste of olive oil and hates the
taste of olives.

This explains why you add soy sauce "only" as coloring.

I use dark soy sauce only as coloring. If I want to flavor the foods that I cook, I use regular soy sauce. That's not radical or special at all. That's the way most people on this planet use light and dark soy sauces. It has nothing to do with olive oil. What does olive oil taste like to you?

I know you were asking Taxed and Spent, but to me it tastes like ripe olives with a hint of black pepper.

As I said upthread, I've tasted olive oils that were like paint thinner, but they're easy enough to avoid.
