Olives

[skybo]

Them Kalamata black ones are beautiful on salads

 

[houst69]

Horrible things

 

[lenshack]

Disgusting, obnoxious things which make a hell of a mess if not cleaned up.

The only reason I don’t chop them all down, is that the trees provide useful all year round shade from the Sun.

They are class, green are best. The family of our lass sends olives from Palestine and Jordan every year they grow their own and press their own olive oil, by far the best oil I've had.

Extra virgin?

Or been round the block a few times?

Scotch olives (like scotch eggs, but with olives) are very nice.

 

[Skandhaless]

Chimichurri from aldi.. First class dressing and always firm decent size olives ... Don't buy them all you bassas.

That will be deep fried olives then

Anchovy stuffed green olives are my favourites. Love 'em.

 

[dixonsafc]

Olives are superb. I'd hate to be someone with a childs palate who can't enjoy how wonderful they are.

 

[zinedine]

Olives with a bit of cheese and a slice of polish sausage is a great snack. Not the ones out of jars though.

Mmm. Will look out for them
Love anchovies me

I cant get away with them, I love grapes and I think they are going to be grape like, but obviously aren't
So when I try them I am immediately repulsed. They do look good when presented well in an italian/spanish restaurant but I just can't stand them

No. They're coated in sausage meat, herbs and breadcrumbs. And you can cook them in the oven rather than frying them.

 

[Latka Gravas]

Horrible little bastards, look the part but taste awful.

 

[chriswallace85]

I like 'em but ya can get some crap ones.

 

[Arkle]

Didn't used to like them but now do.

 

[Charmless Man]

I like 'em but ya can get some crap ones.

Nothing worse than a flaccid, tasteless olive.

But generally they’re lovely. Kalamata paste is probably the best topping for toast as well.

 

[The Exile]

Popeye's girlfriend?

 

[ajthemackem]

Took me years to like them.
I wouldn't go out of my way for some but I'll nick a few from the fridge every now and then.
