Title’s pretty explanatory for what it is.

Erm. I’ll start with the particular cheap store-brand of goose fat that’s doing the rounds at Morrisons at the moment. There’s a much better version of goose fat you can buy in there for £3.50 or so that adds aroma to your Auntie Bessies’, your toast and your banana bread/stir-fries/stews (you can use it in exactly the same way you’d use any other oil/oil-fat, only it’s quite fatty and expansive when heated so you need much less) but the £3.00 one has this total non-smell that’s barely compensated for in taste or spread-capacity and it has the cheek to have “best” written on it. Yeah, nah. I don’t expect my fats to smell like potent rose petals but goose and duck fats are known for having a distinctive smell that comes out from the moment you open t’jar and this one legit. doesn’t smell of anything. Very disappointing.

Another one’s coconut oil (at least the KTC brand, and KTC’s normally great for stuff like that). It might be great for skin/lip-moisturising but the smell’s foul (like rotten avocado). It really is.
