Peanuts are the only "ground nut" I'm aware of in the US. The fact that
they use that term suggests non-US origin and perhaps there are other
types of "ground nut" in other countries.

Yes, it's peanut oil.

Peanut oil. Peanuts are groundnuts as opposed to tree nuts.

Aha, so that's the logic. Thanks to all who replied!

Something else. I don't think we can get groundnuts in this country. I
think they are from Africa but I could be wrong on that.

I don't think it is.

Very strange though. Because it would seem that peanuts are also called
groundnuts, yet there is clearly something else too called groundnuts. But
when I look up groundnut oil, all I get is peanut.

If it is really really stupid I will put money on Julie actually having
said it.

I'm not surprised. The reason why I asked is because 10-15 years ago,
the only returns the internet gave me about what a groundnut is was
something from Africa. It seemed logical that it would be peanut oil,
but the connection wasn't made back then. I asked today because I saw
a British recipe that interested me today called for groundnut oil.
If I make it, I'll use peanut oil (or some other flavorless oil, like
sunflower).

Yes, and, of course "ground beef" is beef made from cows with no legs.

It was also that way three years ago when I was diagnosed with a groundnut
intolerance. I would have to look it up to see what the other name for them
was. Tiger Nuts/Earth Almonds/Chufas. I believe they are from Africa.

Honestly, I don't understand his "joke". "Minced" is a weird work,
harkening back to olden days when they chopped meat finely with two
knives. Do I laugh at it? No, but I could because it's a silly
anachronism.

How can the situation be resolved? It'd be interesting to learn what
options are available . .

I don't know how anybody with a conscience can buy and use baby oil.
