Love olives.
Famous ancient carver Chen Zu-zhang in 1737 transformed an olive pith into a miniature boat with eight passengers in different natural poses. Underneath the boat he etched over three hundred words of poetry by Su Dong-po about river ride at Red Cliff. The fruit pith masterpiece measures 1.6 centimeters high and 3.4 centimeters long.
My personal favorite recipe:
In a small fryer pan, 2 anchovies or one good squeeze anchovy paste. Grate or press three large cloves garlic. Heat through until anchovies dissolve into buttery, not fishy, goodness and garlic loses some of its bitter bite.
1 cup green olives, 1 cup black olives finely chop in food processor. Add the garlic mix, spread on toast.
