I like them very much, preferably green rather than black. In my opinion (and this works better spoken than written) but olives, like fans of rap music, should be pitted.    Posted:   Apr 15, 2017 - 12:41 AM     By:   Mike_J   (Member) I adore them, have done since I was a kid and eat them as a snack all the time. There is nothing better on a hot summer holiday than a huge bowl of olives washed down with a tall, cold beer. In no specific order, I especially like green olives stuffed with pimento, Jalepeno, garlic or anchovies. I also used to adore the pimento stuffed olives that were treated in Tabasco sauce but they no longer seem to be on sale in the U.K. Any more.    Posted:   Apr 15, 2017 - 12:43 AM     By:   Rollin Hand   (Member) From which country do you buy them?    Posted:   Apr 15, 2017 - 12:49 AM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) From which country do you buy them? I usually buy them from our local supermarket... Oh, you mean where are they sourced . The ones currently in our fridge are Greek.    Posted:   Apr 15, 2017 - 1:47 AM     By:   Tango Urilla   (Member) Olives are marvelous in martinis, mixed with nuts, on sandwiches, all by themselves. Provided they are quality olives, of course. A stuffing of pimento or blue cheese never hurts.    Posted:   Apr 15, 2017 - 2:50 AM     By:   Rollin Hand   (Member) From which country do you buy them? France (I like the species known as "lucques", available from June to September) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucques Italy Greece (I like the organic brand called "Epikouros")    Posted:   Apr 15, 2017 - 3:03 AM     By:   The Wanderer   (Member) I love em but I only started liking them when I was 28. My gateway olive was a lemon stuffed huge green olive from Greenwich Market. I prefer green to black but do like a mix. Usually have pimento stuffed ones. I loved ones I had in Italy at Lake Garda the other year. I prefer olives on their own as opposed to being part of a recipe, though I do like olive bread and tapenades.    Posted:   Apr 15, 2017 - 3:07 AM     By:   Mike_J   (Member) Can I also add a shout out for capers here too? Capers are absolutely delicious!    Posted:   Apr 15, 2017 - 3:08 AM     By:   Mike_J   (Member) Olives are marvelous in martinis, mixed with nuts, on sandwiches, all by themselves.

Blue cheese, what a great idea - never tried that before, but will now!    Posted:   Apr 15, 2017 - 3:28 AM     By:   Rollin Hand   (Member) I love them, but what's your view? I enjoy them raw but I tried once olives stuffed with almonds and olives stuffed with pepperoni.    Posted:   Apr 15, 2017 - 4:21 AM     By:   Tango Urilla   (Member) Olives are marvelous in martinis, mixed with nuts, on sandwiches, all by themselves.

You absolutely should!    Posted:   Apr 15, 2017 - 5:17 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Olives are marvelous in martinis, mixed with nuts, on sandwiches, all by themselves.

Enthusiastically seconded! I like the Castelvetrano variety of olive--I buy them with the pits, as they retain their, uh, firmness that way.    Posted:   Apr 15, 2017 - 6:14 AM     By:   jenkwombat   (Member) Olives are pretty good! I don't know that I'd want to eat them every day, but I enjoy them when I can. Black or green is fine....    Posted:   Apr 15, 2017 - 7:10 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) With so many of us lining up at the trough, we can look forward to the "FSM Weigh-In" thread. I've long believed that many here are citizens of Chublandia.    Posted:   Apr 15, 2017 - 7:38 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) Yuck! Green ones are to sour and bitter, the black ones taste like cardboard. And I say that as someone who once ate cardboard.    Posted:   Apr 15, 2017 - 8:04 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Yuck!

Must have been some serious illicit druggery or extreme poverty to have caused that.    Posted:   Apr 15, 2017 - 8:11 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) Yuck!

And it worked!    Posted:   Apr 15, 2017 - 8:13 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) You haven't existed until you've eaten 1970s-era yellow-and-orange colored shag carpeting, old sport--and I do refer to actual carpet material, not the slang for carpet (another topic entirely).    Posted:   Apr 15, 2017 - 8:55 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) You haven't existed until you've eaten 1970s-era yellow-and-orange colored shag carpeting, old sport--and I do refer to actual carpet material, not the slang for carpet (another topic entirely).
