Dictionary of Phrase and Fable—O

Olia Podrida

Odds and ends, a mixture of scraps. In Spain it takes the place of the French pot au feu, into which every sort of eatable is thrown and stewed. (See Olio. ) Used figuratively, the term means an incongruous mixture, a miscellaneous collection of any kind, a medley.
