OOps!  Sorry, I miswrote.  I meant hydrogenated vegetable oil.
It is similar to margarine, but used in recipes instead of lard or butter.

When I was a child, it was allowed to sell butter with extra yellow coloring
added, but margerine was required to be sold uncolored, i.e. a white lump.
Encluded in box was packet of yellow coloring which we had to mix in
ourselves.  I remember one time we had run out of margerine and Daddy took a
lump of Crisco, added salt and coloring and served it as margerine.  There
wasn't a lot of  difference !!
