Ever heard of the Butter Line?
@infobeautiful yes, I have. But that map is hundred years out of date.

Indeed, our NL household is definitely light-green.
@hlangeveld @infobeautiful Even my gran had always a bottle of olive oil open and going. (Though be fair, she was the Amstrerdam gran. The Sprang Capelle gran only ever used margerine. One was a seamstress, the other a butcher's daughter. Both were born a tad or a bit more over a hundred years ago.)

When I grew up it was always margarine.
60s, 70s.

@hlangeveld @infobeautiful And ten years ago, I was in Los Angeles for a Blue Systems hackathon, and one morning I made pankaces, and fried them in butter and lard, and people were all about the olive oil/butter boundary, and then I made moussaka with olive oil, then were all about all of that again, and I was like, where am I?
@halla @infobeautiful One of my favourite recipes is Turkish Mussaka.
