    I have done this, and the only thing I regretted is not eating more olives.

    source

      I run out of olives, then tell myself not to do it, but still sneak a sip of juice from the jar.

      “You’re disgusting.” “DON’T YOU JUDGE ME, ME!”

        Fun fact - a sip or two of pickle juice is a great cure for heartburn. I don’t even like pickles, but I’ll do it because it works.

        I can’t stand olives, even more than I dislike pickles, so idk if olive juice would do the same, but it is, at least, not grosser from an objective view 😅

    Had this for dinner last night. Paired it with some tortilla chips to help round out its nutritional value. Might do it again tonight. It’s called The Mediterranean Diet.

      It tastes like the Mediterranean too!

        XD I did this once and it was surprisingly delicious. I was tired and hungry, opened the can to cook it with other prepared ingredients. Decided to spoon some in my mouth, and then another, and then another, until I ate all of it right there.

        Yes but typically they come with a ton of sodium, as do olives. Won’t anyone think of the sodium? Blood pressure be damned!

      Yeah, they’re delicious, nutritious, and never go bad. Perfect for the man who does not like grocery shopping.

      Are the haters imagining people eating the super-salty pimiento olives? I’m talking about the fancy olives that I, as a sophisticated and wealthy bachelor, buy per-pound from the grocery-store salad bar.

    If you have the occasion, try a fresh olive picked from the three. You won’t regret it ;)

    I mean, I’ll happily eat 10 olives as part of a salad, or 20 straight-up as a snack. You’ve gotta rinse them off first, though. Also, the cheap brands are less oily and salty.

    source
    • some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      Rinse them? I spear them right out of the jar. I love 'em. I’ll try rinsing one today to see what that’s like, but I suspect the oil and salt is a big part of why I like them.

      source
      • herrvogel@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

        Here’s something else to try.

        1. Rinse out the olives and put them in a clean jar.

        2. Add a somewhat generous amount of olive oil. Best you can find.

        3. Add salt, dried chili flakes, and oregano.

        4. Squeeze like half a lemon in the jar. Cut a few thin slices off the other half, cut them in quarters and drop them in as well.

        5. Vigorously shake the jar so all the olives are coated nicely in the spicy lemony oil.

        I always have a jar of this in my fridge. God tier stuff, once you’ve got the mix right in steps 3 and 4.

      With a fork or spear. I dunno who the fuck would dip their fingers into the oil, but I don’t want to shake their hand.

        Well yeah, and moreover I don’t want to eat the damn olives after they’ve dipped their digits in there.

    Today’s been an enlightening day, I learned people like to eat tons of olives alone. I can’t even stand them in pizza.

    source
    • notatoad@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      I can’t stand them on pizza either, and I always thought that meant I didn’t like olives

      Turns out I just don’t like the cheap black olives they put on pizza. Good olives are good, but lots of olives aren’t and bad olives just make the whole dish they’re in taste like bad olives.

        Considering the ‘oliveness’ is the flavor I don’t like and it’s in every type of olive I’ve ever tried, I think I just don’t like olives. I don’t even like the smell.
