I only eat olives from the 3000 year old groves of Gethsemane. All others are pig slop.

Kalamata for snacking and salads. The olive salad in a muffaletta sandwich is darn tasty, not sure what olives are used.

I actually ate some Nachos with black olives because of this thread last night

I didn't like olives when I was a kid and pretty much swore them off for 25 years. I recently had some green olives as part of a salad and liked them. Now I have to try black olives.

Black olives still suck.

I love all olives...but I think green are my favorite. Black olives on pizza are OK...green on pizza are delicious.

Green olives on a burger is a game changer. Whenever I'm in Michigan I eat olive burgers, they're very popular there.

Bottom line: all olives are good olives.

 

[ScottNorwood]

once you go black you will never eat green again!

Once you go green you need a new spleen.

Good post here. Would read again.

The big green ones stuffed with blue cheese or roasted garlic are $$$

Good Eats Olive episode starting on Cooking Channel right now.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

I'd kill for some olives right now.

 

[Limp Ditka]

The only difference between a black olive and a green olive is time



I guess that means we're all going to have to just get along.

Yes, green olives were surprisingly great the first time I had them on pizza. Look forward to trying on a burger.

Update: Had black olives at the salad bar and put a few on there. Liked them too.

Kalamata olives with pistachios and Dubliner cheese is my go-to snack ever since my last trip to Costco.

I think the olive burgers are only popular north of the 45th parallel

I like anything Sicilian or Spanish.

Eat these with excellent beer.

Whole Foods has a terrific selection but if you want to learn something try to find some Italian grocery or importer somewhere. I know a place in New Orleans, but I'm sure these can be found any place with a sizable Italian immigration history.

Holyland deli in Minneapolis has a nice selection of olives

just spent like 30 bucks on olives there a few days ago
