Vegetable Oil / Olive Oil
I was just curious as to what these two types of oils were best for (what types of foods, types of cooking, etc)? Or which people prefer taste wise if both can be used.
Just starting out learning how to cook so i figure this would be a good place to find some stuff out. 
edit: Vegetable oil is pretty neutral in taste, whereas olive oil is pretty noticable. I would recommend experimenting with olive oil to see what kinds of dishes you like it in and which you don't. You can always mix them, too. Traditionally, olive oil is used in Italian and other Mediterranean dishes. I wouldn't recommend it in Chinese myself. Olive oil is great in salads. Get yourself some balsamic vinegar also and never buy bottled "Italian" dressing again.
