I love olives

jester

Black, green, stuffed, pitted, unpitted, red, in martinis, oil, Oyl, the girl from Little Miss Sunshine, mufflata, in pasta, salads, cheese plates, or as a snack.

I don't think there is an olive I've met that I didn't like.

psychwolf

I don't trust people who dislike them quite frankly.

ShadowaceAz

Huge green ones, stuffed with garlic!!

My kryptonite!

psychwolf

Jalapeno stuffed olives are tight. Or olive tapenade. Hells yeah

Bill_ZRT

How about “the other reindeer”?

jester

I'm with them. They used to laugh and call him names.

jester

I still have no idea what a fucking pimento is or where it comes from. I suppose I could Google it, but where's the fun in that?

I've been eating olive loaf sandwiches all week.

Featured on 'Good Eats'?
  Where can I get me some of that?

@ShadowaceAz
Scary but true..... you could order some from Amazon
But any place that sells deli meats will have it

But if you are jonesing for some... this will get you out of a pinch
the pre-sliced stuff

jester

I get it at my local super market. It makes me mad when they slice it too thick. At that point, the olives "pop" out of the baloney (or whatever "meat" it is in, I don't really care).

It really needs to be sliced thin.

I know which Olive you love the best, @jester!

Bill_ZRT

Of course, there are other schools of thought...

@Bill_ZRT

This thread is about loving olives. I've had blue cheese stuffed olives in my bloody Mary for two straight days.

Artisans

I had a thing for Olive loaf for about 4 months when I was around 13. Shortly thereafter, I had to start shaving my legs. Coincidence? I think not.

I'm going to start calling olives "Satan's salty assholes."

That ought to get a great response when ordering pizza: "What do you want on your pizza?" "I'll have mushrooms and Satan's salty assholes!"

- Olives are nutritious and rich in mineral content as sodium, potassium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus and iodine

- Olives provide essential vitamins and amino acids.

- Olives contain oleic acid, which has beneficial properties to protect the heart.

- Eating olives can improve the appearance of wrinkles by 20% since they contain oleic acid, which keeps skin soft and healthy.

- By eating just 10 olives before a meal, you can reduce your appetite by up to 20%. This is because the monounsaturated fatty acids contained in olives slow down the digestion process and stimulate the hormone cholecystokinin, a hormone that sends messages of fullness to the brain.

- Not only does it do that, but it also helps your body to stimulate the production of adiponectin, a chemical that burns fat for up to five hours after ingestion.
