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...

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
