of slimy-looking vermillion-colored goop. Reminds me of that Alfred Hitchcock episode called "The Jar" with Thedy Sue's ribbon floating in it.

I ask because I'm trying to reproduce Hobnobs and their ingredient list included "palm oil" as the fat. Couldn't find it anywhere local, then found it at Whole Foods. Cost a bugger. Just tasted it and it has an oily residual taste so I'm worried about messing up a batch of cookies.

Perhaps someone here knows if the taste in the baked product will end up neutral? I've been using butter in the test batches and the fat calories are the same. Their website uses the coconut oil in pastries, but fries plantains in the palm oil.
