Olive oil to my wife is like chocolate to me. Cost be damned!

Agreed. When it comes to salads, there is nothing like extra virgin olive oil.

Legendary Roman Pliny the Elder famously wrote: “There are two liquids most pleasing to human bodies... inside: wine; outside: olive oil.”

(I’ve never quite understood it. Was olive oil like the iced tea or Arnold Palmer of ancient times, guzzled outside on hot days?)
