Olives
Ok , so all my life , I haven't liked them...
I have decided to revisit things I dont like , or think I don't like (I will start another thread on that)... Anyway , been sampling olives from Kroger, eh ok , but wasnt doing anything for me.... Short version , I ordered a sampler from La Tienda of olives ... These things (link below) changed my entire outlook on olives... I can never eat grocery store olives again... https://www.tienda.com/products/piqu...rra-ol-23.html Dan

Olives are wonderful. Mash them up with some smoked oysters.

Add some wild cherry Jell-O and some cool-whip.
Nummy. From The old world. We saved it.

My family is utterly disgusted of both oysters and olives. I like oysters and am ambivalent about olives, with a trend towards one's I've tried and not liked. I'll try them, but I'm far from purchasing them.

real Spanish olives are a real eye opener for flavor. They have little to do with what we are used to. One of the best tapas you can be given in Spain IMHO
