Green Olives or Black Olives ?

[kuranes]

I have a fridge loaded with all variety of olives.

You're obviously keeping up to date on your food insurance payments.

 

[Qre:us]

one you go black, you never go back.

Two you go green and make the keen scene.

Three you try Kalamata, and add some new facts...
... to the existing data.

Swing battah, what's da mattah ? Come down off your patio, daddio, at the Ramada ....

You need to add the word "sex" to the title so that you can attract a larger sampling size. There should be at least 90 people responding in the poll.

Green olives, absolutely. Black ones are okay too, but greens win by a mile.
I sometimes eat them straight from the jar, when I crave salt..

The little place I get pizza from offers both on their supreme pizzas. I never thought much about it. I love olives but Kalamata and Niçoise are my favorites.

I'm a black olive person, myself. I definitely prefer these two, particularly the latter, but they're often somewhat difficult to come by...

I prefer black olives, but green are alright too.

I hate the kalamata black olives though, which seem to be really common. Bleck, so bitter.

Me, too. Not a fan of kalamatas.

I just luuv olives. Both black and green, so it's veeeeery hard to choose. But since right now I have a jar full of juicy, green olives I'll pick those. Plus, I haven't found in the stores lately black olives tasty enough.

The best pizza I ever had (so far) was with kalamata olives and blue cheese. Man, was that good. But a little rich.

I wonder how it would have tasted with English Stilton replacing the blue. I would think you'd want some other cheeses in there, too.

Oh yeah, it definitely had mozzarella too.

My keen sense of taste cannot handle extremely salty unedible shit, and in my salty unediable shit category i include green olives. Last time i tried to eat kalmata olives, spat a hole load.

 

[Tiltyred]

I am in favor of olives of any color. Put on just about anything, or eaten alone.

What else goes into a Muffaletta ?

Olive salad = green olives, black olives, oregano, lemon juice, roasted red bell all finely chopped. Gardiniera (Pickled Cauliflower, carrots, celery, Pepperoncini) you buy at the store ready made. red pepper flakes. oil & vinegar.

Round loaf of french bread, salami, ham, provolone, plus the olive salad.

Variations exist.

Hmmm. Tasty.

Waiting for pizza to be delivered - and I remembered the black olives on it.

... Man, what a week.

(I had to say.)

 

[iwakar]

Neither.

 

[BerberElla]

Wow, just both. I love olives, especially seasoned up the way they do them in morocco. Black probably tops it just by a little bit, but both are just fantastic.

Everytime I see this topics name, my mouth starts watering. ;(
