I was going to suggest animal fats but then noticed it was you. Have you tried avocado oil? It's more neutral tasting than olive oil and it has a high smoke point.
Peanut oil.
Why the fuck should I buy Mexican crap, when canola is made right in fucking town here? And grown in the region? It's just high-yeild "grape"seed. The only thing really wrong with it, is the regulations farmers have to put up with around it.
It's not grapeseed. It's rapeseed. And especially as a vegetarian (or vegan) you need to watch your omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. I eat a bit of corn oil (although pretty much exclusively when making mexican rice, you can't get the authentic flavor otherwise) which has an even worse ratio but other than that it's olive oil, animal fats and butter which have more omega-3.
I never said I was a fucking vegan.
You're confused.
I never said Man had no rights to his livestock - just that he lost his rights to wildlife as soon as he took up agriculture. Want to feed yourself in the wild? Steal a fucking cow when things go down, there'll be a shit-ton of livestock that'll need a herder - if the powers that be don't waste them all like they did the bison, and other wild ungulates that belong to the wolf and the cougar. Fuck, according to "Machines that Made the World", Henry Ford was practically fapping over the idea of horses being deliberately sent to extinction. That's the sort of fucking attitude I fucking hate.
(and oh, that stupid democracy thing? You're still talking about a REPUBLIC, because why would the wolves give the sheep voting rights any more than humans would? Why do you think they're equals in this eqution, just because neither are human? Replace the wolf with human, and "democracy" seems just fine, doesn't it?)
I said "or vegan" specifically because I wasn't sure. Clarified butter actually has a high smoke point, btw, if animal fats are on the table. If you are a meat eater then bacon fat is actually great because an occasional pack of bacon produces a lot of fat; it isn't anywhere near neutral but it meshes well with most savory dishes.
