>>15815187

>>15815210
Delicious

>>15815210
I need to try that

>>15815187
What do you have them with?

>>15815210
I had a real problem with these for a while, I'd buy 2 or 3 jars every grocery trip

>>15815187
For me, it's anchovy stuffed

these all look delicious to me. i only have a small supermarket by me and cbf getting the subway to the fancier/big one, so when i buy olives, maybe once a month, i get pimento stuffed green ones: use in salads, occasiobally wraps - sometimes in hoagie roll sandwiches, with ham, mayo, cheese, tomato etc.

Just discovered muffuletta, don't even like olives, too strong on their own, but this stuff is amazing. What are some other things I should try so I can learn to love olives.

I have a Farmboy near me. What do you eat that with?

>>15816303
I just added it to my hamburger in place of other condiments.

i used to work in a sandwich shop run by an italian from NJ. He'd make a lightly grilled sammich with this with ham, mortadell,provalone and another type of cheese, red peppers, olive oil. Shit was pretty cash.

I swear I'm gaining weight just looking at this thread.
It's all so delicious, bros.

olives are still the only common food i can't enjoy

>>15816373
I get that. When I was younger, the first time I ate a green olive stuffed with pimento I legit freaked out because of how salty it was. But now that I'm a 30 year old boomer I fucking love them.

Same with black olives, they legit have a metallic taste but that's the exact reason I enjoy them, it's weird but I just go with it.

>>15816148
I just eat them straight from the jar most of the time. Sometimes I'll cut up some cheese and have them along with that and crackers.

>>15816509
I have them with pasta. I'll mix cheese into it (not a lot) or dressing or sometimes mayo but I add other veg too.

>>15815226
How are you supposed to get the garlic in there if you don't take out the stone first you retard?

Castelvetrano or go fuck yourself

>>15816668
These are patrician, best enjoyed with a cold beer while you wait for your pizza to be cooked.

What are some high quality olives i can buy? Preferably not lye treated as ive heard curing/brining is better, but wtf do i know?

>>15816303
Sandwiches primarily though I am sure it would be a good way to dress pasta

>>15816362
There's like 115 calories in 100 g of olives

>olive thread with nearly 30 replies
>nobody mentions garlic and jalapeno stuffed
It's like you all hate flavor. I could munch on these bad boys for days.

I don't trust people who don't eat olives

for me it's these, comes in a big jar for fairly cheap. Apparently alla calce means they're in a lime(not the fruit) brine. They remind me of cerignola olives

Limed/lyed olives are disgusting.

>>15815187
Cheese stuffed olives always remind me of my older brother when I was a little girl. He had phimosis and an insane amount of smegma. Sucking it out for him so it wouldn't become infected. A cheese stuffed olive hovering in front of my mouth menacingly always reminds me of cock. Haha.

>>15816668
matty matheson is overrated and annoying as fuck but his castelvetrano olive salad dressing is v based

>>15817474
idk I think they're good. I like how the saltiness is toned down. They're no pic related but they do just fine for the price

>>15816474
Olives are a super food imo. Really fucking healthy.

>>15815187
I just sliced these up and put them in a salami sandwich today. pretty good

>>15815187
yes but only if it's in olive oil and not brine
brining/pickling garlic takes all the flavor out of the garlic and leaves you with tasteless spongy balls

>>15817495
ywnbaw

>>15815187
That looks so fucking good what's it taste like?
I never really eat olives

>>15815226
That's what my grandma said and she was right. Don't take the stones out or you lose flavour. Go fro the ones that have only salt added and nothing else. Based Greek gramdma.

>>15819443
I trust your Greek grandma, thanks for the tip. One thing, when you take it from the jar, do you eat around the stone and then spit the stone out? Or do you remove the stone and then eat the whole thing?

>>15819457
yes

>>15819443
i agree, pitted olives just taste like brine in comparison, i figure its due to surface area and the inside being more permeable
>>15819457
remove stone if its going in a dish, spit stones out if im binging them straight from the jar

>>15819457
Same anon. My grandma takes a bite of a hunk of bread then pops an olive in her mouth. The trick is to extract the flesh in your mouth and then spit out the pip. The bite of food lessens the salty hit and mingles with the food to create the perfect balance. Grandma taught us well.

She doesn't take out the stones even when adding to bread or stews because they lend flavour. If you break your teeth on them then she has no sympathy unless you're foreign because (i paraphrase and translate the expression) 'you don't know any better/don't get it'.

Your grandmother is a fucking slag.
