16. Black olives - AKA Jazz's noses

Jazz was a beloved black lab/german shorthair cross - with you got it - a cute black nose. Yes black olives MUST be eaten in fives or tens off of ones fingers.

[LisaM]

1. None

when I go to the Olive Garden, I ask them to leave the olives off the salad. They laugh, but they comply.

[dolo amber]

27. Agreed

Olives are a tool of the devil. x(

[babylonsister]

2. Are Kalamatas from Israel?

I had the good fortune to spend some time in Tel Aviv. Instead of peanuts served at a bar (salty to inspire thirst), olives were the freebies available at the bar. They rocked!

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

9. They are Greek

[MADem]

[ashling]

14. virgins

[Kali]

15. ANY

Haven't found an olive I didn't like yet, but I only like them by themselves - don't like 'em on pizza or in salads or mixed in with other food. Nuts either. (well ok in ice cream and pecan pie, but no freaking nuts or olives in casseroles - BLEH)


Mmmmm Kalamata, Turkish, Pitted, with the seed, French, salted, in oil, dried, homemade, black from a can, ANY!

[AwakeAtLast]

17. I like Kalamata, too.

But then, I have never met any olive I *didn't* like. :9

[Paladin]

18. Big Green Ones, Stuffed With Blue Cheese.......

...resting on the bottom of a large, cold, gin martini.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

34. Green olives stuffed with lemon...

...resting on the bottom of a large, cold, gin martini are good, too. :D

[aePrime]

19. The type that I don't have to taste or smell

But if you like them, I envy you. I always wished I enjoyed more types of food.

My wife and I have very boring food tastes. She's even pickier than I am!

[bigwillq]

20. The Green Spanish one's with the soft red pits in them

What are they called?

[yellowdogintexas]

21. current fave : fat green olives,marinated in Sicilian spices

fabulous...available in the open olive bins at Central Market.

god they are good

I like Nicoise black olives, kalamatas, and oh rats there is a neat little green one at Central Market that has a nice kick.

can't think of its variety though.

[GOPisEvil]

22. I may be the only Greek person who dislikes olives.

I don't mind the Greek olives in salads, but that's it...

Now an olive tapenade isn't so bad, and black olives on pizza are acceptable, but I'm just not an olive guy.

Martinis are another thing...an olive is good in martinis.

[yvr girl]

24. I don't think you're really Greek

You can't be.

[GOPisEvil]

25. Well...I only have circumstantial evidence.

:shrug:

[yvr girl]

26. Circumstantial?

You have a birth certificate don't you?

[GOPisEvil]

28. It's in Greek. I guess it's mine.

I have old Greek passports with pictures that look like me as a baby. Those have my name in them. Like I said...circumstantial. :D

[Huckebein the Raven]

23. I have to say Black...n/t

[miss_kitty]

29. pitted kalamtas

pimento stuffed greens, and the gross California ones you can use as finger guards during holiday meals in dress up clothes.
I am also fond of the tiny Niçoise and the oil-cured Moroccans

[Atlas Mugged]

31. Oil cured black olives

I buy them in bulk and pit them with a cherry pitter I got in Germany. I love the Kalamata's, too. But the oil cured ones are so rich and meaty.

[donheld]

32. My preferences are

[deadparrot]

33. Anything without pits.

I love olives, but pits creep me out.
