A man walked into a bar and ordered a martini, then another - then martini after martini, each time removing the olives and placing them in a jar.

After a couple hours of drinking martinis, he had filled up the jar. He put the top on it, left a nice tip and left. The Bartender scratched his head and asked the guy who had been sitting next to him “What in the world was that”?

The man laughed a little and said, “ The guy was already pissed at his wife, so when she sent him out to the store for just one jar of olives.....”

Greeks still make the best olive oil. Floral aroma, complements rather than overwhelms other ingredients, etc.

I have been cooking for 50 years. I always use olive oil, I always have used olive oil.
