Reply to comment by WakingOwl1 in TIL Margarine was originally named oleomargarine from Latin for oleum (olive oil) and Greek margarite ("pearl", indicating luster). by joshemerson

And when you say 'my Mum', I'm assuming you're somewhere in the U.K. I'm in the U.S. Maybe that has something to do with it. Or maybe it was going on for some time before I became aware of it. I was pretty young then.

I’m in the US but my Mum was originally from Nova Scotia.
