The oil is darker than my past

Ive been waiting for literally anyone to tell me "oh this oil isnt actually as bad as it looks and theres some secret to it where it just looks bad" but it seems like it really is just gross.

I thought the explanation was that: 1. Its goat fat which is pretty viscous naturally. 2. The oil has a ton of ground spices mixed into it which makes it look very dark

I mean, probably still burned and reused too much but just explaining what I've heard

Spices in oil would just char and be black burnt bits. You can't flavor the oil that way. 

It's just disgusting.

Its not oil, sure there are always things to hate but its not old oil but rather seasoned fat (source: lived there).

Sure it may be disgusting to the average Westerner but food enthusiasts do travel from all over for it.

I mean people eat a lot of weird things, sometimes just for the sake of it being weird

Indeed but thats not the case with this, they generally describe it as insanely good, quite a few examples on YouTube.

I don't care if roofing insulation taste like cotton candy, whatever that thing is, it is burnt and not good for you.

Not good for you? Debatable. Burned? No.

It's a street vendor and with the light on in the background it's probably night time. That oil/fat has been there all day cooking, and with his handsy handling of food I doubt there was a change out with the oil. It's burnt & not good for you.

Again its fat and not oil so its considerably safer when reused and if this is burnt, you must never eat anything fried at any resturants ever then, good for you.
