Burnt Crispy Bits. (TM Pratchett?)
I've always called the oil 'Groundnut' simply because that's how it was referred to in Chinese recipe books when I started using it waaay back in the day. Yes, it's just peanut oil, aka Huile d'Arachide in French.
Dunno why, but like in English they too seem to use different words to refer to the nuts (cacahuètes) and the plant or any products derived from them. In British English we also have the term 'monkey nut' which is used to refer to peanuts still in their outer shells.
A bit more expensive than sunflower oil, but I always find the latter to have a flavour I don't particularly like.
