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.
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.
It’s also tasty as an ingredient in pasta sauces, stews, and soups. I use a bit when I make gumbo.

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.

3-in-1 oil would be… unpleasant…
