How to get your 20g of fat to take with Orkambi

Tomorrow is the big day for me.  I am scheduled to start taking Orkambi.  And it got me ransacking my home looking for things that have 20g of fat in them to eat when I take the drug.  Which then got me thinking that I should compile a list of foods and beverages that someone can take or add on to things in order to reach the 20g goal.

This list is far from complete and I will gladly add on any suggestions!!!  Some of the information is taken from my house and some are taken from this website.
