olives

[KarmaPolice]

So ever since xmas ive been on this olive thing. I love ot sit down and get some nice pitted greek black olivies and some green ones stuffed with feta along with some pita bread. If i eat this all the time as a snack food..is that bad, health, or ok for me?

OK so i ADDED A POLL...

But are they healthy?

I hate green olives. Actually I don't hate them. I just can't eat too many cuz they're so damn salty.

Black olives are the best though.

Find an olive bar and sit down and feast out! (Got one in my area) Your best bet is to head to NYC.

 

[redgtxdi]

Black olives rule!!!

I love green olives. I would think eating them as a snack would be healthy.

Great olives can be found at Italian Import stores.

Next best thing is olvies from Mezzetta or Trader Joes. Stuffed with jalpenos, garlic, pimento, fets, blue cheese..........

Spanish Tapas type places have pretty good olives too.

Olives. Yum.

Black are the best but green are great also.

Mmm, olives rock. Green olives stuffed with garlic FTW! Black olives are my favorite pizza topping.

I really dislike black olives. I'm too lazy to pick them out of things usually, but I never want them. Green olives, on the other hand, are the WIN!!! I could down a jar without blinking. Mmmmm, making me want a martini just thinking about em.

 

[FoBoT]

olives are awesome

i just like the normal jumbo black olives

 

[SmoochyTX]

There should really be a pole - black or green

 

[Squisher]

I cannot stand the taste of olives, yet I use olive oil all the time and the brine from the olive jar makes the dirty martinis that I love.

Perhaps you meant poll?

Ok so everyone has answered that they are great...but are they healthy. If i sit down infront of the tv with pita bread and olives am i eating healthy, or is that just too much for everyday or every other kinda thing?

 

[mpitts]

Can't it be both?

I love olives.

Green olives are usually preserved with the brine that probably has a high salt content. Olive oil can be used as a cooking fat, so I would presume you're getting some of that but not an especially high amount. All said, olives are a lot healthier than some of the things you could be eating. The nutrition value is probably not that high either though.

Sorry man, language is nearly sacred to me. I just can't make myself sit by.

BTW, been here 3 years longer than you. And that's just on this account.

It's a joke. So many people misspelled poll. So people started spelling it pole.

I know how to spell it correctly. No need to get your panties bunched. Maybe you had to have been there for that year or so.

ETA - The joke isn't funny when you have to explain it.

 

[spidey07]

Find you some Jalepeno stuffed green olives.

Ambrosia man....find them, eat them.

While you're at it look up a recipie for a tapenad. I'm sure I butchered the spelling but it's an olive based spread for bread. Rocks.

I realize it's not an error, but I still can't take it. I'm just ultra-sensitive to grammar/spelling. Pitfall of becoming a teacher I suppose.
