Black olives

[Gashouse]

One thing I highly recommend though is green olive and ham pizza. I'm not huge on green olives in general but it just works on a pizza with ham. I can't explain why and I fought my friends on it but finally didn't have a choice one day and they were right.

Ugh. I used to go to a monthly lunch meeting and they order pizza every month. Always the same - roughly half is a sausage and pepperoni pizza. Then the other half of the pizzas are pizzas with sausage (maybe it was hamburger), green olives, and pineapple. The sausage-pepperoni pizzas were always gone way before the other monstrosity. I have no idea why they never switched up the order.

Love them on pizza and salad.

They have the texture of biting through a fish eye. Insidious culinary evil. Nearly as vile as black licorice and coconut.

I like them on pizza, but only now and then. If I got them every time I think I would get tired of them.

I like green olives on a salad and in vodka.

Black olives are awesome.

And I have to question the opinion of a man who spent $25 on pizza hut.

Pizza hut is bottom of the barrel these days.

They are awful. Nothing ruins a pizza like black olives.

I love all olives. I'm especially smitten with Schnucks' olive bar. Kalamata olives are the bomb diggity.

I think the problem is they use those cheap nasty watery black olives that you find in a can.

Try some oil cured black olives. Delicious. Or Niçoise olives.

I don't blame you for questioning me. Pizza Slut sucks. I order it maybe two or three times per year purely out of convenience - when delivery is a must. $10 any size any toppings. Thank goodness the other pie was Pepperoni Lovers. It's a must for a family of 7.

It doesn't lessen the point that black olives absolutely ruin other foods.

I like kalamatas... not as artificial tasting as black and a lot less squeaky when you chew them.
