I only like black olives; do you like all kinds? I think most people do.
Man, give me a can of colossal black olives and I’m set. I grew up where olives served on a veggie plate for apps. Always picked and snacked on them.
Yes, I like green olives too. I’m a glutten for salt and vinegar.
Stuffed with garlic or jalepeno are a bonus.
Ever (try to) eat a tree-ripened olive? “There can only be one!” Any more than that marks you as a determined, masochistic Darwinian Candidate.
I really have to wonder who (and how/why) discovered the process to make them edible.
“Yech! You can’t eat those things!”
“Blech!! I can’t drink this crap, either...”
“Hey; maybe if I soak those in this, then ....”
Black olives, pitted and stuffed with anchovies, then marinated two days in the olive juice and anchovy brine, and an equal amount of Kalamata.
Served with a sweet creamy cheese, like Havarti and sesame bread.
Preferred beverage - two ounces of Arak (best is Razzook or elKazen) in a wine glass, light rocks and spring water.
