What does "oleo" mean? Context: cooking.?

Answer 1

oleo also known as oleomargarine aka margarine. NOT shortening, NOT butter substitute spread.
Some spreads will have more water and less solids so they may give the wrong consistency. Butter would probably work but again consistency is a question.

Answer 3

Before margarine there was oleo. It was butter substitute made from vegetable oil. You must be using an old cook book. Just use margarine instead.

Answer 4

Oleo is what they used to call margarine about 100 years ago. Back then it was pink (required by law) so makers couldnt try to pass it off as real butter.

Answer 5

Oleo is the round or square blocks of margarine you buy that are wrapped with wax paper.

Answer 6

I understand your frustration; I've seen it quite a bit on the ol' internet. Having read a good part of the Qur'an, it would certainly seem that most of it is really just disjointed poetry, often-times almost just entire chapters of non-sequiturs strung together haphazardly. However, I do believe that Muslims assign a back-story to the verses. For instance, imagine if we separated the Bible into a book of Jesus' sayings and a book of the narrative elements. Well, without the narrative element to tell you what the scenario is, you can take a whole lot of verses out of their intended meaning (and people do that anyway even with the context of the verses of the Bible). So, when they say that he said to slaughter such and such, they say that it was intended for a specific incident, and you'd have to turn to the hadith for the answer. It's a reasonable defense, but it's one that lends more credence to the idea of a Mad Poet Muhammad rather than a Prophet. From my study of the whole thing, it seems more like they've wrenched scripture and deeds so far out of their reality to make Muhammad into the Prophet that they'd wanted- a little ironic, given their common accusation of Christians wrenching scripture to turn Jesus into God.
