What's new

What are you guys doing right NOW??? ;)

Black olives are blander than Kalamata olives, which are usually brined. The flesh of black olives, at least ones I've had over the years, also is less firm than that of Kalamata olives. In the US, Kalamata olives often are sold unpitted, while black olives usually have been pitted. Kalamata olives generally are more expensive as well.

I've never met an olive I didn't like.

In Chinese culture, we preserve and candy a lot of olives, so they end up as sweetmeats.

Candied olives, I've not come across that before but I'm now intrigued enough now to hunt them out and try them!

I've never tried candy olives either but sure does sound good!! :)

I'm with you there, I like olives. I buy jars of marinated pimento stuffed green olives, add heaps of garlic cloves, and eat them as a nibble. Sparingly though if I think I may be talking to people soon;)
