Oleo is margarine. You can use butter or shortening if you don't have margarine.

Margarine has been around since 1869. By 1902, 32 states had banned the yellow dye used to make it look like butter. This was due to dairy industry protests. I remember during WWII mixing the color into the margarine. I knew that there was some law against selling yellow margarine, but I was not aware of the reason until now.

Oleo is just another term for margarine. In most recipes you can use butter or margarine interchangably. I prefer butter but sometimes margarine is just cheaper and on hand.

In the superstore, fruits are usually chosen far too soon. Some are rocks, many are wrong. Some of the fruit and vegetables are generally right (zucchini, onions, garlic, lettuce, greens, and a few others) so I'd have to go with vegetables.

Oleo is the old term for margarine. You can substitute butter or margarine for this in any recipe. (Personally, I use butter every time... better flavor!)

I am not looking for any points...I just want to tell you that some older people still refer to margarine as "Oleo". Nowdays, when a recipe calls for "Oleo" you always use margarine, that is just how it is. You will never have a problem doing this, I've been cooking and baking for years using margarine, when the recipe calls for "Oleo", and everything always turns out perfect. I DO NOT KNOW WHY SO MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE ANSWERING YOU ARE GETTING A "THUMBS DOWN" SINCE THEY ARE RIGHT...TODAY WHEN A RECIPE CALLS FOR "OLEO" YOU SHOULD USE MARGARINE, IT WILL ALWAYS WORK!!!!!!!!!!!
