Olive oil.

Are you a fan?

At home we use it for everything.

Including lube for squeaky door hinges.

Hi.

Long time ago some of the best olive oil came from Lebanon.

Now, no so much.

“oliveoil” keyword


FR wins the “Book of Knowledge” contest over Wikipedia!

Plus you get a few laughs here, which I’ve never encountered on that other, lesser resource. (Wait, I personally added there Livy’s story of Scipio Africanus meeting Hannibal later in life and asking Hannibal who’s the greatest conqueror.)

“Olive Oyl is named after olive oil, used commonly in cooking. Segar’s newspaper strips also featured a number of her relatives named after other oils, including her brother, Castor Oyl, their mother, Nana Oyl and their father Cole Oyl.”

First, crush olives and place them inside a permeable bag. The next step, Dodd writes, involves “inserting sticks at either end of the bag before twisting them in opposite directions.”

Doesn't this sound like 'pressing' but with less pressure? Am I missing something here?

Olive is the only truly edible one in the family, and quite tasty.

Basically, first press olive oil which is still considered premium.

It’s a squeezer, not a press in the familiar sense.

Yeah. As soon as I take my cast iron pan out of the dishwasher I scrape off the rust and lube it up with olive oil.

There is a guy on youtube who is doing a "how to make everything" series that is really interesting.

For example before you could do this you would need to have learned how to make cloth to make the bag.

Before you could make the cloth you would need to know how to weave.

Before that you would need to know how to spin so you would have something to weave.

It is really interesting how everything we do is dependent on having something that came before.

It’s remarkable how the amount of labor to make garments has dropped, and how the resulting free time has turned so many of us into couch potatoes. :^) I was looking at a spinning wheel (donated by a cousin to a museum) from at least the 1840s and considered, at least one of these used to be in every home.
