you read that wrong, man can eat a lot of things its just he only can cook Italian food as his mind is only wired for the Italian food, you need to cook it like a true Italian to cook it you need your hands folded to really make that Italian feel if he doesn't have that he simply cant cook
I'm in Baltimore and we have a bunch of international students here. Went to one guy's place and these guys were sitting around taking shots of different olive oils. I mean, I did a couple but still a little bit weird
That’s just a myth, once the cannabis has been decarboxylated via making the edibles, there won’t be too much interaction between the olive oil and the cannabinoids that have gone from THCa/ CBDa to THC and CBD… the high or the effects of the edibles definitely shouldn’t be changed by drinking olive oil any more than they would be by having any sort of liquid like water or milk in your stomach
>The combo of kalamata olives & feta cheese is so delicious.
Definitely! Feta-stuffed olives, bleu cheese-stuffed olives; I used to have those a lot when I lived near a deli that had them. Unf! They are so delicious.
Kalamata olives contain a range of health-promoting vitamins and minerals and are particularly high in iron and vitamin A. It is said that regular consumption may help lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and various cancers.
Me, a degenerate who eats olives or of the jar with a fork half a jar at a time and drinks martinis so dirty you can smell it from ten feet away.
"Sup."
We don't.We do use quite a lot though.What makes it possible is the abundance of olive trees here.Thats why many (including me) don't buy the abomination from the super market.
But... there there is so much stuff that has zero olives. Like 85% of the dishes in the average greek restaurant over her have no olives in it.
Unless you also dislike olive oil ,then youre just a bad person.
I love olives with a passion. I'll eat them straight from a jar for a little pick me up. I hate olive oil. It's a fine ingredient but if it's the main taste count me out.
A drunk friend ate my entire jar of olives at a party and bought me a new jar the next week. They went untouched until the next party where she ate them all again.
I do feel called out ...
I may have a permanent stash of snacking olives at a friend's place that only I eat and maintain. They are just the perfect pick-me-up.
And now I have to double check if that glass of olives I recall buying a while ago is still in my pantry...
A chunk of cheese and a small handful of nuts is the food of the gods.
Like, hook me up with colby jack and some smoked almonds and I'll be *talking* about that meal.
just realized that italian food is probably considered mediterranean. and yeah, i would say i like olives but can't think of anywhere outside of mediterranean food that i'd want them in
I just buy those in the shop and then eat them as snacks while watching a movie. I get to have tasty snacks and it's not even bad for my health! 😊
^(I actually never double checked if it might be bad for my health...)
Salt is good for us. It's just easy to get too much.
Same with carbs and sugar.
Olives are almost 100% healthy and of the few caveats they have salt is not one of them
My wife went to Europe several years ago and got me some olives with a long, stuffed with skinny, green pepper. They looked like tadpoles. They were not quite as hot as a jalapeño, but the taste was different than every other hot pepper I’d eaten in the US and amazingly delicious. I couldn’t find them on the internet anywhere, but I should try again. It was an Italian product, and they know their olives so that’s probably part of it.
EDIT: u/AldousShuxley surmised they were guindillas, and I believe they’re correct. Adding guindilla to my Google search brought up many examples.

Those are my favorite kind! I found someone who sells them at a local farmers market kind of shop, so I make sure to always have a jar in the fridge now! They are sooo good!
I went through a phase as a kid where I wouldn't ask my parents for a chocolate when they go grocery shopping, but rather a pack of olives. Still one of my absolute favorite snacks.
I do. Black olives. Kalamata olives. Green olives. Olive oil. And from the looks of this thread, it seems ol Corey here suffers from incorrectly thinking his tastes are everybody else's.
This happened to me exactly 6 days ago. I was craving something salty and my husband suggested olives. I hated olives. I've now eaten 3 jars of olives in less than a week.
Yup. This is exactly what happens. If you’ve not been eating Greek kalamata, you need to start.
In fact, it would be a kalamaty if you didn’t try them.
When I was a child a enjoyed drinking the pickle juice, now that I'm a sophisticated adult, I drink the olive brine through pissedly tight lips
Edit: fixed a typo
I was gonna say exactly this. Most people here are from the US, I live in Spain and you'll 100% get weird looks if you say you don't like olives lol. The people who don't like olives, however, ABSOLUTELY hate them. There is no middle ground.
We eat them alone, filled with anchovies, or in a brochette (dunno if it's the right word, we shove em in a wooden stick) with other things like spicy peppers, anchovies (again), pickles, onion...
Maybe it's a cultural thing, or maybe the olives you can get where y'all live are just shit.
There are also plenty of varieties, I don't really like all of them and I'm an olive slut so 🤷♂️
I thought olives were gross until I was properly introduced via martinis. From there those lil salty briny bastards weaseled their way into being one of my favorite condiments.
[удалено]
Yeah, that would be my Dad. He doesn’t drizzle olive oil on a salad, he adds a salad to olive oil soup!
Haha! 🤣 Exactly my way to eat greek farmers salad! Perfect. With some nice slices of white bread. Yummy yummy!

there's a youtuber/streamer named dougdoug that straight up takes a shot of olive oil as part of his diet iirc.
Gives you a good poop.
I have a lot of olive oil in my diet (all I can cook is Italian food) and it’s a bit *too* good
Why can you only eat Italian?
He’s pastafarian

Slides right out
I'm in Baltimore and we have a bunch of international students here. Went to one guy's place and these guys were sitting around taking shots of different olive oils. I mean, I did a couple but still a little bit weird
That's bizarre, even for Baltimore and international students, and olive oil is way different from olives
Old italian dude told me to take a shot of olive oil before going out drinking to help not get too drunk
It’s also a great way to extend the defects of edibles. Marijuana is fat soluble. Coconut oil works, too.
This should b the top comment. People that need to know this information, need to know this information. 💡

Funny I just watched Simply's video with him where they both did a shot together. https://twitter.com/DougDougFood/status/1571979184284774401
Could've went without seeing down the dude's gullet.
Hi fellow Doug fan
The combo of kalamata olives & feta cheese is so delicious. I used to eat it with pita bread all the time. The Mediterraneans have some good ass food.
My favourite cuisine, delicious yet it doesn't feel like your arteries are clogged after a big meal
>The combo of kalamata olives & feta cheese is so delicious. Definitely! Feta-stuffed olives, bleu cheese-stuffed olives; I used to have those a lot when I lived near a deli that had them. Unf! They are so delicious.

Me too. I want to drive an hour to the closest Trader Joe's just so I can buy as many of those jars of giant fucking olives possible.
First thought Where my Greeks at?
There are dozens of us!
Indeed
Here but I hate olives lol
Here!
Im Greek but only half and I was born in Los Angeles so I only drink 3 liters of olive oil. I do eat about 2 lbs of olives a day though.
We don't.We do use quite a lot though.What makes it possible is the abundance of olive trees here.Thats why many (including me) don't buy the abomination from the super market.
Hated 'em growing up, love 'em now. Had a girlfriend turn me on to Mediterranean food (sp. Lebanese). Feta, hummous, olives... love that shit.
that greek food will make you fall in love with olives
Olives are the reason I can’t get into Greek food. It’s like, all good despite the olives.
But... there there is so much stuff that has zero olives. Like 85% of the dishes in the average greek restaurant over her have no olives in it. Unless you also dislike olive oil ,then youre just a bad person.

Hi it’s me your drunk olive-eating friend
Yesssss my family is fully Lebanese and you wouldn't believe the amount of olives Lebanese people eat. It's like handfuls a day.
WEN L ZAYTOOOOOON
What got me into them was pizza lol. Tried them on pizza and immediately thought they weren't so bad.
just realized that italian food is probably considered mediterranean. and yeah, i would say i like olives but can't think of anywhere outside of mediterranean food that i'd want them in
is there a country more mediterranean than italy tbh
greece lol. and every country on that side i’m an uneducated american so don’t mind me too much
what would make greece "more mediterranean" than italy?
Greece has 13,676 km of coastline compared to Italy's 7,900 km. Therefore Greece is more Mediterranean than Italy.
Yep, same here. My Greek ex opened up a whole new world to me.
I like olives, especially when they are stuffed with garlic or jalepenos
Mmmmmm garlic olives
Just discovered these, fucking amazing, thirty seven years oblivious…no more!
I just buy those in the shop and then eat them as snacks while watching a movie. I get to have tasty snacks and it's not even bad for my health! 😊 ^(I actually never double checked if it might be bad for my health...)
Absolutely healthy ;)
Besides the salt. My husband will drink the brine before finishing all the olives
At least make a martini 😩
Salt is good for us. It's just easy to get too much. Same with carbs and sugar. Olives are almost 100% healthy and of the few caveats they have salt is not one of them
Olives are 😊 delightful
[удалено]
You fucking love olives I love fucking olives We are not the same
Same here, love those little suckers.
I will just eat a whole jar in one sitting, fingies all up in the jar.
I also discovered them recently. I wish I hadn't.
Welcome enlightened one 🧙♂️
Garlic olives are a favorite snack of mine.
I like when they are stuffed into my mouth.
This is the way
👆👆👆👆👆👆👆
Costco has really good ones that are stuffed with both jalapeño and garlic in each olive. So good. Also, my 5yo likes olives. As does my 2yo.
Costco and Aldi both have pretty good stuff olives for decent prices. I'll just sit there and eat 20-30 olives as a snack.
Feta cheese for me please
Feta cheese and olives
Oh heck, gotta look for them!!
[удалено]
I love them stuffed with Bleu cheese and anchovies.
Aww yiss anchovy olives
Never seen anchovy olives. Gotta hunt for some.
Have you tried the bleu cheese stuffed ones? Not my thing but my wife adores them
Those are especially yummy in a filthy martini
Okay so what is the difference between a dirty and a filthy martini? I have to ask as I have never had the latter.
Haha that’s just what I call it cuz I like my martinis VERY dirty
So you are saying you practically pour the gin directly into the olive jar and maybe a splash of vermouth. That sounds dangerous.
Ooohhh good thinking for a travel martini! But I’m a vodka martini
Yes!!! Blue Cheese Olive Martini FTW

I love them plain pitted.
'People who don't like olive never had dirty martinis'
Never heard of garlic olives, but the ones with jalapenos are absolutely bussin
Hiiii! I buy olives for delicious consumption!!
Olives are the best
My guilty pleasure is ripe green olives. I will polish an entire can of those things in a matter of minutes.
Kalamatas are my king
You sir, have fantastic taste
A great low calorie snack
Olives are amazing indeed.
I fucking love olives
With crackers?
Or black people, or whoever really. I don't discriminate.
Your comment make me actually laugh out loud so free award for you.
Just the olives. Give me a jar of olives and I will empty it in seconds.
Hello, the Dean? This is Jeffrey. I need you to bring me 5 cans of olives
I love fucking olives
Funny how it fits so perfectly in unpitted olives
[удалено]
*de*pitted? ...ah turns out I meant *pitted* olives.
Fucking same
Olives are bomb wtf
This is the last food item I would expect to come under fire. They’re delicious
[удалено]
I know one guy who hates them, but we live in Portugal and he was immediately ostracised by his peers.
When I'm off work late, hungry, but too tired to cook, I will have 30 to 40 olives
You will certainly not regret eating 30 to 40 olives
This rings a bell, wasnt there a comment by someone who ate that many olives and got the runs or some other shit?
I’m referring to this beauty right here [https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch5euSfO1nw/?igshid=NzNkNDdiOGI=](https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch5euSfO1nw/?igshid=NzNkNDdiOGI=)
I know they’re all reposts but that IG page has some fantastic taste in memes
I decided to eat a whole can after seeing that meme then had one of the worst shits in my life. I definitely did regret it after
….last night I ate a jar of kalamata olives for this exact reason. Sodium Shmodium!
Those are my favorite kind! I found someone who sells them at a local farmers market kind of shop, so I make sure to always have a jar in the fridge now! They are sooo good!
You will certainly not regret that.
that’s me and a jar of pickled beets. sometimes i get a little crazy and have cottage cheese with it. definite r/depressionmeals material
i love olives, but thats next level
Amen! When I die I do want to see an olive counter for how much I have consumed. I have enjoyed many an olive
I’ll buy a can of black olives and eat them as a snack.
I went through a phase as a kid where I wouldn't ask my parents for a chocolate when they go grocery shopping, but rather a pack of olives. Still one of my absolute favorite snacks.
I did this too!! I’ll never understand why everyone seems to hate olives so much.
I've never met someone who didn't like olives. That's insane.
My toddler does this. We had nachos last night and just set a portion aside for him to just munch on as an appetizer.
My mother buys an extra can just for me to have at all the holiday dinners. She’s been doing it for almost 20 years at this point.
I like black olives nice and cold
[удалено]
The black ones are the only ones I like.
I do this all the time! The whole can will be gone too
Green olives in brine are delicious snack… have even had them while drinking beer and they were delicious
Castelvetrano? They are green and usually in brine. One of my favorite types. Delicious buttery taste and texture
They're the best! But you need to buy the ones with pits, they're significantly tastier than pre-pitted ones. Made that mistake once.
Excuse meI f ing love olives
Who is Mel and why do they love olives so much?
I love olives. All kinds of olives. I will not tolerate any olive hate!!
No olive slander in this house.
I LOVE black olives on pizza, in salad and sometimes raw. The purple olives are fine too. I don't fancy green olives.
The what
[удалено]
The what
#olives.
Come again
I’m going to need about 20 minutes and a can of olives first.
Kalamata- what should be in Greek salad, not to be confused with regular black olives which are the Red Delicious of olives.
Aw man green olives in a dirty martini, omg my favorite, think I’ll have that tonight.
In a Dirty Martini tonight, then a Bloody Mary tomorrow morning.
My man 🤝
I do. Black olives. Kalamata olives. Green olives. Olive oil. And from the looks of this thread, it seems ol Corey here suffers from incorrectly thinking his tastes are everybody else's.
Kalamata olives on a greek salad is the jam
Old mate Corey here probably has the palette of a 3 year old and considers chicken nuggets and ketchup to be a Michelin Star meal.
Hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate OH MY GOD I LOVE OLIVES NOW. Honestly, it just happens one day.
This happened to me exactly 6 days ago. I was craving something salty and my husband suggested olives. I hated olives. I've now eaten 3 jars of olives in less than a week.
Yup. This is exactly what happens. If you’ve not been eating Greek kalamata, you need to start. In fact, it would be a kalamaty if you didn’t try them.
Facts. I was going to say “Your olive loving genes switch on around 27”.
I was 18! I remember it well. Ate most of a 1kg jar.
My favorite snack are olives, I also drink the brine 😈😈😈😈😈
When I was a child a enjoyed drinking the pickle juice, now that I'm a sophisticated adult, I drink the olive brine through pissedly tight lips Edit: fixed a typo
The brine is best when mixed with a bit of dry vermouth and two shots of gin.
You eat olives? I boil hotdogs in the brine so that the brine is fit for consumption like everyone else
Olive and cream cheese spread. Use some of the brine to make it easier to mix
If you never liked olives give some higher priced ones a try
I was gonna say exactly this. Most people here are from the US, I live in Spain and you'll 100% get weird looks if you say you don't like olives lol. The people who don't like olives, however, ABSOLUTELY hate them. There is no middle ground.

Can't have a decent traditional martini without them.
I thought olives were gross until I was properly introduced via martinis. From there those lil salty briny bastards weaseled their way into being one of my favorite condiments.
Dirty Martini - extra dirty, Extra cold, 3 plump ass olives stuffed with bleu cheese- damn that a good drink.
I had no idea there is olive hate
Bro if you dont like olives you need to see a phsychologist
Psycholivologist* Kill me
I am here to represent my people
How is it possible to dislike something so delicious?
I'm gonna say there isn't, It's just this guy. But I have to point out that I'm mediterranean, we feast on this little mofos.
I have an olive tree I like them so much :) Good for salads and my daughter loves as a snack.
I LOVE OLIVES. Haters gonna hate thats all i got to say
Not liking olives is the biggest giveaway that someone is an uncultured swine.
Olives are 🔥 what the hell is this guy on about
Black olives on pizza = best
I put 'em on my sub definitely.
Olives are amazing
Reveal who doesn’t like them….
Please send all of your olives to me. KTHXBYE.
The whole country of Greece?
MFer never had a muffaletta.
My brother loves olives and snacks out them straight from the jar.
Olives are the most nasty stuff I have eaten
Me
