I have done this, and the only thing I regretted is not eating more olives.
Part of a balanced diet

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!”
ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
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.
Ddhuud@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It tastes like the Mediterranean too!
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 10 months ago
My typical dinner tastes like the Aral.

Me eating an entire can of chickpeas with a spoon
okmko@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.

Where’s the protein…
GoosLife@lemmy.world 10 months ago
At the store, busy being expensive
ech0@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Tortilla chips have nearly 0 nutritional value tho…
BigNote@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Yes but typically they come with a ton of sodium, as do olives. Won’t anyone think of the sodium? Blood pressure be damned!

I’m not falling for this. I think I’ve read a greentext about doing this and the anon ended up covered in shit sobbing himself to sleep on the bathroom floor

People get sick from eating olives? Man I can eat a jar of green olives, pair it with a brick of cheddar cheese and you’ve got yourself a meal.
kungen@feddit.nu 10 months ago
Yeah wtf? I’ll eat a whole jar of kalamata and have no problems.
shadowspirit@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’ve found my people. Think I’ll go indulge in a brick of cheddar right now. The concrete that I have to pass tomorrow will be … well … tomorrow’s problem.
n3m37h@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’ll take the cheese, you can have the olives
Hyperi0n@lemmy.film 10 months ago
That was a jar of pickles and it caused him great gastrointestinal issues that resulted in acid like bowel movement.
This reaction isn’t normal though.
Scew@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Even just eating like 5 olives makes things extra smooth down the line >.>

…i just ate eight flavor grenade pluots for dinner about two hours ago, crunchy, green, and tart: the flavor part was absolutely true but as i’m sitting down to type this i suddenly realise that the grenade part was, too…

I don’t see how this is a shitpost, it’s just unironically a great thing to do.

How much did big olive pay you to say this
smeg@feddit.uk 10 months ago
I’d love to eat big olive
ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
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.
Loulou@lemmy.mindoki.com 10 months ago
There’s a limit to not exceed though (for me at least :-D )
Nouveau_Burnswick@lemmy.world 10 months ago
41 olives.
thedarkfly@feddit.nl 10 months ago
If you have the occasion, try a fresh olive picked from the three. You won’t regret it ;)
Risk@feddit.uk 10 months ago
Why not eat the other too?

As a Greek with olives in their family house, I can highly ^^^not recommend this
fritobugger2017@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Marinate them in a bit of vodka for a relaxing evening repast
Aagje_D_Vogel@feddit.nl 10 months ago
Yeah, ate a (large) bunch of green olives in quick succession once. Turned my stomach into Vesuvius during Pompeï’s final moments.
Chunk@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Sometimes when I’m backed up having a way to clear the pipes is nice. There are few things I enjoy more than a blast from the ass.

Aagje_D_Vogel@feddit.nl 10 months ago
I agree, but unfortunately this time it forced it’s way back up at night.
angelsomething@lemmy.one 10 months ago
Literally my kids everyday. They fucking LOVE olives. It’s weird. We don’t encourage it and we tell ourselves it’s a phase that will eventually wear off.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 months ago
My mother tells me my uncle would eat nothing but olives for about a year when he was a toddler. He threw a massive fit if they tried to feed him anything else.
XEAL@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Fun fact: olives are technically fruit.
VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 10 months ago
More fun facts: tomatoes and pineapples are berries.
UnknownQuantity@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Well, pineapple is a bunch of berries fused together.
Unrelated : avocado is a berry.
DirkMcCallahan@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.
some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 10 months 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.
herrvogel@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Here’s something else to try.
-
Rinse out the olives and put them in a clean jar.
-
Add a somewhat generous amount of olive oil. Best you can find.
-
Add salt, dried chili flakes, and oregano.
-
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.
-
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.

Imgonnatrythis@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Right out of the jar with your fingers? Wtf?
Streetdog@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It’s definitely more sane to do it with your toes!
some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 10 months ago
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.
Imgonnatrythis@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Well yeah, and moreover I don’t want to eat the damn olives after they’ve dipped their digits in there.
victron@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Today’s been an enlightening day, I learned people like to eat tons of olives alone. I can’t even stand them in pizza.
notatoad@lemmy.world 10 months 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.
shadowspirit@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I know we’re not supposed to judge and this is meant to be a community but … I draw the line at olive hate. They’re so damn delicious. Are you even human?

I would regret eating one single olive. Yech.
variants@possumpat.io 10 months ago
olives are amazing, you just need to find the right one for you. I dont like black olives much and they seem to be on everything, I much prefer Castelvetrano olives
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.

EpeeGnome@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz 10 months ago
Oh no, I’m not falling for that idea again. I’ve learned the hard way (multiple times) that I will regret more than about 20 olives in one go. Too much salt for me.
Gamey@lemmy.world 10 months ago
If I start I won’t stop yill the jar is empty, olives rock!

I can only eat green olives on a muffalata. One of the very few foods I don’t care for.
