Black olives matter

[ultimatebob]

I should organize a "peace summit" of black olives, green olives, and red olives in my salad tonight!

I have a dream!

yeah but

they need to be wilted;
water-soaked black olives (like you get in a jar, or sliced on your pizza) are useless.

protip - most middle-easter food shops (turkish, pakistani, arab) will have them, loose.

Why do they need to be wilted? They're delicious straight from the can.

Garlic stuffed green olives are where it's at.

Bleu cheese stuffed olives are my favorite, and I don't otherwise like bleu cheese.

I buy jars of the green olives but my nephews eat them all before I can get one in me. such bullshit.

How about blue cheese?

oh yeah

Nope, don't like that either. Tastes like mold :^D

I don't get the moldy taste when it's stuffed in olives. It's vaguely smoky, and earthy.

oh boi.

if you think the ones out of a can are good, you are in for a treat. i urge you to try the wilted ones asap, think same goodness x10.

I'm up for it. Is that something you buy(called wilted olives?), or do you make them? A search on "wilted olives" isn't being helpful.

Black olive matter if you have no respect for your palate.

Black olives are shit.

Volos olives are where it's at.

I'm a bit of a blue cheese maniac also i guess, but don't always use it.

Good on burgers if you're making them that way IMHO, and on a regular salad.

The OP is seriously politically incorrect, and I salute him/her for it.

All olives are genetically black (but unripe).

if you buy black olives loose, from a middle eastern (or greek) store, they will all be like that - it's typical of those olives. the reason why the jar ones aren't wilted is that they are brined before they are ready to eat.

Those are salt cured olives. As mentioned already, most olives are brined, or treated with lye, and then fermented.

Sharpton will be very upset if he reads this. It seems white people are killing the black olives.

 

[Dulanic]

Black olives rule.

 

[RossMAN]

As a green olive supporter, I find this post to be highly racist!

I should report this post to the mods, you greenie hater!

pizza/omelets - black olives
sandwiches - green/greek/whatever

ALL olives matter.

(crap, saying that just cost me the election, didn't it?)

some olives are better than others, though. But all are beautiful in their own way.

this. salt-cured aren't the only type of "real" black olives (as if the canned wet and bland ones are simply the cheap version of the same thing).

No one should be eating canned black olives. Plenty of properly brined black olives out there, and they are delicious.

 

[BurnItDwn]

Gotta say though, I far prefer Kalamata olives over Black.

Yah, I like black olives, green ones are better, but Kalamata ones are the creme de le creme of olives. So tasty are they!
