Ick. Burnt Sesame oil. Burnt in the bottle. |
|
I must have gotten a bad bottle - it's got a flavor not unlike badly roasted coffee (which is not what we're aiming for here.)
So dinner - chicken fried rice - was a bust. I had to go buy lo mein.
I'm so annoyed. Brand new bottle, too.

1. Ewww, did it go rancid before you had a chance to use it? |
|
I would return it to the grocery store for a refund. But it doesn't do anything for your ruined dinner.

2. It didn't taste rancid; it tasted burnt. |
|
But since I don't speak Vietnamese, and the folk at the Asian grocery where I shop don't speak much english, (and our common French is tres execrable on both sides) it just didn't seem worth the hassle to be a pushy American over $3. Down the drain with the oil, and the bottle into the recycling bin.

4. Rancid has a sour taste. I've had bottles go rancid on me, too. |
|
This was definitely not rancid. Rancid requires some sort of tongue scraper, or a Minnesota winter and an icy pole to get rid of the taste.
This... not nearly so bad.
