Love them or hate them?

[Thyrd]

No

[King_Crud]

hate em, they're filth

[Frau Farbissina]

olives are great. Love 'em marinated with garlic, chilli and herbs.. in a jar overflowing with the oil of their departed brothers.

[Goat Boy]

Love 'em.
They are up there with anchovies and sun dried tomatoes.
Especially on a pizza.

[imp]

Don't like the black ones but greens are great! Especially the stuffed ones plus they can be made into some kick ass oil. :D

EXTRA VIRGIN!

[BlueBoy]

Fuck olives.

[dozer]

olives > you

[DCenT3]

olive = martini = james bond = sex god = me I WIN!!!

[Frau Farbissina]

Don't like the black ones but greens are great!But are you talking big fat tasty greek kalamata black olives or those dodgy pre-sliced aluminium-tasting cheap spanish black olive slices that Subway and most of the pizza chains use? Once you've had a big fat tasty greek one you'll never go back.

Both. :) I've tried the greek "OMG that's one big olive!" black olives but I don't like them either. Bummer too b/c I feel like I'm missing out on something.
The deli near my place sells green olives stuffed with cheese, almonds, chillis e.t.c. *drools* So good with wine. :)

[LethalCorpse]

Kalamata olives are ambrosia. Spanish olives are slightly slimy cardboard.

[Canalien]

looove olives.

in fact, I LOVE is an anagram of OLIVE. that's how much i love them. spanish, kalamata, green with pimentos or feta... yum.

[Cassa]

kalamata olives with greek feta and semidried tomatoes is the winningest mixture.

[Thyrd]

Olives are devil seed!

[spurr]

Green/black olives look exactly like Yoda/golliwog testicles respectively. In both cases, I would rather eat the latter than the former.

[macgyver]

stop it you big tease!

[Grumblefish]

Olives are great, olive oil is brilliant.

I have some green olives in the pockets of my jeans as we speak. But only green - no blacks. http://www.bannedwagon.net/forums/html/emoticons/nono.gif

I also use extra virgin oil in most of my cooking. But only extra virgin - no sloppy seconds. Even the late Alfred says no to that.

Olives with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and rustic bread is the appetiser of winners.

[dwarfthrower]

The tapenade is an olive based foodstuff that will truly be remembered for it's greatness.

[StudMuffin]

eeeeeewwwwwwwwwww

We are talking about eating olives not getting drilled in the ass in this thread :D

Olives kick ass nothing like olives and cheese and peppers........mmmmmmmmmmmm

[Buffy]

olives are the win, i think its an aquired taste. They were one of the things I hated as a child but i've grown to love, like oysters and mushrooms :D

[dwarfthrower]

An olive, oyster and mushroom milkshake would be the ultimate in acquired tastes.

[ms edeity]

And mussels... A Sunday afternoon platter in bed is a lovely way to spend a few hours and olives are a must.

Youv'e never had Olive Oill until you have had the stuff that is first pressed from the olives of trees on my Wife's Mother's land, then shipped here. It is amazing.

[dozer]

what lady can resist a wet, salty mussel in bed on a sunday afternoon.

[druid]

I found mussels a bit meh but they're definitely the thing to have in Brussels. If only for the "mussels in Brussels" part. I recommend Chez Léon (http://www.chezleon.be/) for all your mussel needs.

[imp]

Olive Bread!!!!!!

[Al]

Love olives, they rock. Local pizza place actually uses whole black olives. That's the stuff.

Also, stuffed/spiced/marinated olives ROCK.

[King_Crud]

has the world gone fucking mad? Olives, Mussels, mushrooms? All filth and will all send you to hell

[BtrFly]

i like black olives - only kalamata ones or greek ones... again an acquired taste

[t101]

Olives rock (possibly even the Casbah). Tapenade rocks even harder.

Mmm. Now I'm hungry.

[Frau Farbissina]

We are talking about eating olives not getting drilled in the ass in this thread :Dhey that reminds me.. What do you call a woman with a toothpick up her arse? Olive.
sorry.. don't have any more olive jokes :(

[Sagacious]

Olive's are great and boy can she move them

[annie]

Don't really like olives, but i love tapenade.. how strange.. maybe it's just because I havn't eaten any olives in a long time..

[royale]

olives = :)
but
mushrooms > mussles > olives

I have planted an olive tree an my new house- it currently has '000 of very small olive like things on it, hope the grow and become ripe ;)

[CMYK]

Mmmmmmmmmmm caperberries

[beerbaron]

Kalamata olives are the best for eating

green olives are the best for making olive oil

[HAL]

I've loved olives since I can remember. There’s nothing better than hunting around the fridge and finding a whole container full of big fresh olives. I'm not fussy about the type, an olive is an olive to me. Now egg and oysters on the other hand.... Jesus, those things taste like shit, the people who enjoy them obviously have serious taste bud deficiencies. :fu:

[label]

No, No, No, NO!

[Urban3300]

I used to eat olives straight from the jar, I don't know why I stopped. I do eat olive bread now though.

Of all the 'ancient' things to see in the Mid-East, the most incredible are the Olive Groves, where there are trees that have stood for thousands of years.

And then along comes some stupid fuck with a bulldozer and destroys what has stood for longer than he can ever imagine existing for. It's ok to killl people, if that's the way you want to be. But please, leave the trees alone.
