A lot of people use olive oil over here now.
But it's true that originally we use butter (not margarine, we use that on bread)
Why? Very easy: it was cheaper.
And we don't have olive trees so until 50 years ago no one in Belgium ever heard about coocking with olive oil :)
I hope i helped you with my answer :)
