Olives –green or black? Which do you prefer, and why?
>>220270134 me its purple
>>22027020This anon gets it
I think they are icky
olives have multiple cultivars - simple black vs green is not enough. at your grocery store there is probably an olive bar with a dozen types of olives once u account for the stuffed olives or pitted vs whole etc. Klamata olive is my favoritebut of the classic olives from a jar - i'd rather have green than black
Olives are basedOlive trees can live for thousands of yearsGiving you tons of salty treats for your whole life. Fin
>>22027062>thousands of years>your whole lifeChoose one
The large green ones stuffed with gorgonzola cheese
>>22027028Please tell me more about what is and isn't in my grocery store.Why the fuck is everyone on 4chan a pretentious pseud?
>>22027107you're embarrassed because you got olive mogged and now lashing out
>>22027063Not that anon, but the tree will give those salty treats to you AND all the generations of your family beyond your lifespan.
>>22027013aged black are the best for eating by themselves i think, but those cheap pimento stuffed green olives you get in the big jars are perfect for mixing in with all kinds of things (rice salads, pasta dishes, pizza topping etc).
>>22027020This but unironically
>>22027107What 4chan are you using? More like 99% of posters here are fucking retards that shouldn't use the internet and rather go play in the mud or something
>>22027155Why would you post somewhere full of retards? What does that say about you my good man?
>>22027133Erm, I think you misunderstand.Do you have any olive trees that last, say 5,000 to 20,000?PSA: stay away from Taoism
>>22027157Again, a pretentious pseud. Why do you pretend to know what goes on inside that posters mind?
I really don't appreciate a lot of the attitude in this thread. I'm a retard and I'm proud of that. Nothing you guys can say will change that.
>>22027183how about appreciating the olivititude?
Black if oil-cured, North African style olives (the wrinkly shits). Green if Cerignola. But they're all good. Except California style. They can go suck a dozen shits.>>22027020Also good. I had pink olives once at a Cypriot restaurant. When I asked the owner about them, he said they're a variant of kalamata if they're from Greece or beldi if from Turkey but he didn't know precisely which ones he served that night since the chef does the buying but he could ask, if I want. I said that it was fine and I'll just keep an eye out for them. I've never seen them since. There were also these almost perfectly spherical green olives the size of apricots with practically no stone. I didn't ask about them so as to not be a bother and they, too, haven't been seen by my eyes since, not even online. At least pink beldi, I can find pictures of since I know the name but these edible golfballs masquerading as olives I've not seen again.
>>22027161Cultivate harder newfag. In my school we aim to outlast the human epoch itself.
>>22027191Now that I can get behind
>>22027213Olivtastic. Olivstanding!
>>22027107most of us live in america, the land of many olives.
>>22027013Castelvetrano olives are so insanely good. Its like the best parts of a black and green olive combined.
>>22027013I dont remember which I like better :(
>>22027020very based indeed
>>22027013I do not like olives but I enjoy olive oil. It is one of the best oils to make salad dressings and cook low temperature stuff like fried eggs
>>22027062at my grandmas house there was a big olive tree but i only harvested the olives 1 time in 10 years
>>22028805And you couldn't even eat them. The town my family's summerhouse is in is on the Tyrrhenian coast. The house is a short walk to the beach. And there's a sports club available, too, if you'd prefer to play tennis rather than swim in crystal clear Mediterranean water.But the town is lined with olive trees and nobody bothers harvesting them for some reason. I asked once, as a kid, why nobody cares about all the olives and was told that it's because they require more work than people on holiday are willing to put in. So there you go.
>>22027013black olives cuz i love that its kinda sweet :)
>>22028877You can't just eat them off the tree is why.You have to cure them, which takes like a month at the minimum, for them to not taste like bitter shit.People aren't typically on holiday in the same place for a whole month and even when they are they don't typically bring the necessary tools for curing olives on their vacations.
>>22027020Kalamata olives are just about perfect. Too good for putting on pizza, just have them with some nice cheese and crackers.
>>22028779> I enjoy olive oil. It is one of the best oils to make salad dressingsi dont think i have ever considered what other oils i could eat with salad desu
For me, it's guzzling black olives and screaming "I hate Wesley Snipes" while the brine drips down my face.
Olives are gross.
>>22029292A high quality finishing olive oil is a wonderful dressing as it is.
>>22027013>>22027020kalamata yes is best, especially on pizzain general black olives are better, but I really like green olives stuffed with garlic
Black only, I wish I could enjoy the other ones but they're just too salty. Anyone have a good brand or variety for me to try? I have turkish/persian/italian groceries around me so there's dozens of varieties to choose from.
>>22029306>Olives are gross.I second this. I would also add that people who like olives are actually perverts.
Whatever my Italian deli has in the windowed trays.Along with the largest Italian mix sub they have
>>22028718also like a weeks worth of sodium. not that i'm complaining though. i'll have both thank you very much
>>22027013Black, unpitted. Could eat an entire can full easy.
green usually have the fun fillings, but when i can get a large amount of black ones that haven't been pitted, i like those.
black > green > blacked
i like whatever chicken stewed in a tomato sauce that includes olives dish is called chicken cacciatore?chicken marengo?
