      Man… I tried using all bacon grease as my fat when I made the roux…. That was a tough gumbo to get through. But canola with a bit of bacon grease is right. If you can find it, 1-2-3 oil in place of the canola is the tits.

        My brain interpreted that as 3-in-1 oil for a brief second, in which I thought you were really out here trying to murder some folks.

          Not positive, but I think it’s a blend of canola, vegetable, and safflower oil. Whatever it is, it’s mild enough and mostly neutral to give the right flavor.

          3-in-1 oil would be… unpleasant…
