While we are discussing canned and brined food stuffs.....
Olives, love ‘em. Wouldn’t eat them for most of my life. One day I decided to try them again and now I always keep a jar on hand.
Currently snacking on Tasso’s garlic and jalapeño double stuffed Halkidiki mammoth olives. Blue chz stuffed is up there too.

Never was big on olives in gin.
Drop of bitters and a twist has always been my go to martini recipe.

Greek olives, the big ones or kalamatas.
Spanish jumbo green, w pit or pitted are good too.
I chuck a big one in cheek and grind on it when drinking a boring pilsner

Love olives. Have the same Tasso double stuffed right now.
Never without a few jars in the fridge and pantry.

Of late I have been buying grilled green olives at the bulk condiment station. Basically a classic martini olive with a touch of smokiness.

You can now get Pearls brand olives in snack packs "Olives To Go". Eight to 10 olives in a plastic cup, absolutely perfect for packing in a lunch or with a cocktail. Black, green, stuffed, kalamata...all kinds. Here's just one LINK We get them in the local supermarket.

I only like whole black olives.
Dont like any of the green ones or any black ones that are cooked or sliced.
Just right out of the can......love those.

I hated olives when I was a kid, since I am older I love them with my vittles and on a salad. Olives stuffed with jalapeños and garlic, that’s the good stuff.

Manzanillas for the win. Halved in a salad.

Does anyone know? What does an olive taste like fresh from the tree? Are they edible in the raw form?

Black olive are green ones processed in caustic soda. Ate lots of olives, all different types and flavors while living in Saudi and traveling the Middle East from 2010-2019. The green Tabasco ones sliced are one of my favorite pizza toppings.
