The message
from Lazarus Cooke contains these words:

Hey, don't be hidebound! Different oils are good fun. I prefer not use
olive all the time, as it's such a dominant flavour.

Yes, I agree. My great-aunt, from the Perigord, who made her own pate
de foie gras truffe, would use olive oil when she wanted the flavour,
peanut oil when she didn't - which was most of the time. Afaik that's
standard French practice.

I like to use safflower oil for a very bland one.
