Olives | Pad Patter 11/14

I love black olives and can eat a few Kalamata olives. The Kalamata's have such a strong flavor i need them in smaller bite sizes or with other food.

My grandfather found a green olive that tasted like butter. It was soooo good. He would buy a cases after case of them... but I could never find them again. It was in a can with a lighter yellowish label. They were so good. I wish I could find them.
 
I do like olives, both black and green. My hubby hates them both. :giggle I've never really had too many fancy types of olives to even know which ones I would like.

I had the best Kalamata olives from a roadside shop in Santorini. They were just in a mason jar no label. I thought I would have an issue bringing them home on the plane going through customs. We did not. I miss those olives they were so good.
 
LOVE all of them, the kalamata are a great ones and go so well with fish, but my faves are black olives, there's nothing better than a salad with fresh tomatoes, fresh goat cheese and black olives, well just to think about it, I'm drrooling, lol.
 
My sister-in-law LOVES olives so we always have an olive tray at holiday meals-- I love black olives too, but not the green ones. I like olives on my Subway sandwiches, and Kalamata olives in gyros.

Ewww olives! Haha I always wanted to like them because they look so fun to put on your fingers but I’ve never been a fan.

My sisters and I would do this when we were little! We would pretend we were tree frogs then eat all our fingertips. Lol! Now I’m not a fan of them, although I did have the best caramelized olive spread at a restaurant a few years back that was totally amazing. I wish I had the recipe for it!
 
When I was little, we would always spend Thanksgiving with my grandparents and my mom would always have a charcuterie tray with whole, pitted black olives. My grandfather -- who was always the "fun" grandpa -- and I would put our fingers into the holes of the olives so that we'd have an olive at the end of each finger and then eat them like that. As a little kid, I absolutely loved it and it remains such a sweet, silly memory that I have of him now that he is gone.
