maybe i'm crazy but i'll use extra virgin oil.
Extra virgin olive oil should never be used in cooking. It's too heavy, it tastes too strong and it turns bitter very quickly when heated.

But each to their own. There's no accounting for taste, so if you like it then crack on.

As for fry-ups, clarified butter works wonders on anything. Just use it sparingly and add a touch of olive oil if you're going to heat it for a long time.

I've always found olive oil to leave a slight bitter taste of olives in the back of my mouth.
Especially extra virgin.

Which is nice with a pasta but not a breakfast.

I don't generally take health into account, more taste.
