Oh God yes!

How's this to whet your whistle?

That reminds me of a dish from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom...

I love all types of olives! (and tomatoes too)

I also LOVE pickles. When I was a kid we used to eat these very very sour jumbo dill pickles all the time. They were readily available where I grew up but now when I get a craving for them I have the hardest time finding them where I live now. So I went online and found this wonderful place to buy them online....

Stuffed Olives, Spicy Pickles, Pickled Products, Jumbo Dill Pickles

The guy who owns the site makes them himself and sends them right to your door. After I received my order, I called and talked to him personally to tell him how delicious his pickles were. He was very sweet, and he'll even make them to your preference if you just tell him what you want. :)

I haven't tried the olives or anything else yet but I'm sure they are wonderful.

I take it you've never eaten a tomato like an apple...

Believe me, I've tried! They look so delicious. So pretty and plump and red. I just can't stand the taste, at least not alone.

I always want olives, but don't really enjoy eating them.

I want to try Bertolli. I'm guessing it's really expensive.

Bertolli is hella expensive, but it tastes great. The Chicken Parmigiana for two package typically sells for $9 (holy crap) here when not on sale, and when it's on sale, it disappears instantly, which sucks. It's kinda greasy too.

I love olives though, especially black olives.

Wow. Bertolli is $5.something here. I haven't found any that I like yet but I haven't tried the chicken parmigiana.

In Hawaii. So since we get virtually everything shipped here from "the mainland" a lot of stuff is expensive.

You're lucky. The parmigiana is my favorite. $5 is Bertolli on sale.

Damn. =\
