    What are they doing with all that oil? Is it used to oil fighters for Greco-Roman wrestling?

      In Portugal at least vegetable oil is only used for deep frying. All other uses, olive oil is generally preferred. Then in Greece you have dishes many like hummus and similar that use lots of it too.

        Greece doesnt have hummus. It exists in supermarkets but it is niche. It is probably considered more exotic in Greece than most of Europe.

        However olive oil is used in all foods and for frying too. It is the nectar of Gods.
