"Chleb i olej"

Translation: Bread and oil

[A__drian]

Is olej for olive oil engine oil, sun tan oil. Meaning is presumably from context, as in English.

[Jellei]

Hmm... Wiktionary says: If further unqualified in everyday speech, it means either cooking oil or motor oil. This word never applies to crude oil; the word ropa or the phrase ropa naftowa is used instead.

And my first thoughts were also cooking oil or motor oil.

Tanning oil rather uses the diminutive form "olejek".
