I would have died on that hill with you for most of my life.
But it always seemed odd to me; I wasnโt a picky eater so what was different about olives?! I would try them from time to time but still gagged on them.
Then I tried some while I was living in the Middle East. They slowly be came more and more palatable until now I love them.
Those shitty canned black sliced olives are still awful though ๐ฅด
So you're saying that I need to travel to where olives are made?
Or just to a middle eastern grocer.
Also - Castelvetrano are the olives that non-olive people often like. The flavor is mild and buttery, not as sour as most but without the metallic edge the black olives have.
Thank you for the recommendations! I might see if the super fancy grocery store by my work has those olives. If they don't, then I'll try to find a middle eastern grocer. I don't mind taking a minor road trip to find legit olives. I wanna know if I just don't like the ones I've been exposed to.
Of course. Otherwise they're just sparkling kalmatas...
Iโm in a similar boat. Manzanilla olives are the only ones I like! Pit-in or bust.
Lindsay's are good. But not as good as kalamata.
You are supposed to fill the black ones with easy cheese.
