Soap-making was the order of the day. At the correct mix with caustic soda, olive oil loses its distinctive oily consistency and hardens to an excellent soap. In its liquid form, however, this mixture is less than appealing. Opinions varied from pea soup, to vomit, to chip-shop curry sauce, but whatever ...
