Reply to comment by Buck_Thorn in TIL Margarine was originally named oleomargarine from Latin for oleum (olive oil) and Greek margarite ("pearl", indicating luster). by joshemerson
Interesting, I have never heard of that. There is a gap between me and my younger brother, so I knew what is was from baking with my grandmother.
My introduction to margarine was in elementary school, and it was horrid. For whatever reason, I was embarrassed to leave the uneaten pat on my tray, and so I would stick it to the bottom of the cafeteria table, which ticked off the janitor, but I was never caught.
