Try 21.7% peanut oil, 38.4% salmon fat, 5.7% goat cheese, and 63.4% bacon oil. Bring the mixture to about 180-200 Kelvin, constantly stirring to keep the goat cheese from clumping. Once the mixture is homogeneous, quickly strain it over cheese cloth and leave it in the fridge overnight to drain. Throw away the solids and use the clean fluid.
