When I worked at a fair trade store we had these Palestinian olives that were so damn good. Every morning I'd open a jar for customers to sample, eat olives till I made myself sick, then do it again the next day. Good times.

Sounds anti semetic

[–] tamal3@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Were they the slightly wrinkly black ones? Mmmm

[–] Hegar@fedia.io 4 points 21 hours ago

Greens and pointier browns, the greens were incredible, but I always prefer green olives.

A while back a dev invited users to test out his app in beta that gave recipe ideas based on your dietary preferences (back before everyone was doing it).

I told it I’m vegetarian, am lactose free (m’spouse is lactose intolerant), and gluten free (I’m not, but 23andMe told me to maybe cut back on gluten to avoid developing the celiac’s I’m at risk for/others in my family have).

The only food it came up with for me— for dinner— was “a handful of almonds.”

That phrase has become a running gag with friends and I whenever we’re hungry af, because I’ll never forget how hilarious of a dinner suggestion that was. It felt akin to my vegetarian experience of going to a stakehouse for my grandpa’s birthday and the waiter being understandably woefully unprepared for my dietary preferences.

Even now some recipe apps— when I look for gluten free stuff— I can tell it didn’t filter my results and instead just appended “gluten free” to ingredients that normally have gluten.

Which I get, but like… gluten free bread is gross/they haven’t mastered that at all.

gluten free bread is gross/they haven’t mastered that at all

Canyon Bakehouse has pretty decent bread, except the loaves grocery stores typically carry are woefully tiny. Like “for ants” tiny.

O’Doughs burger buns are decent, except two things:

  1. They don’t slice all the way through the bun when precutting, and
  2. They have poppy seeds on them

As for hotdog buns; well, all brand’s are shit and the people making them should feel really bad for the terrible job they’ve done. Seriously, they should feel nothing but shame.

They make those disgusting hot dog buns and can't even be bothered to split the tops. Then you open it and it immediately falls apart

OMG I would fucking destroy a handful of almonds right now.

[–] doug@lemmy.today 7 points 1 day ago

Ironically I indeed have come around to eating them as a snack, which I never would’ve considered at the time.

(I was more about whatever high sodium crap triggered the dopamine at the convenience store nearby: chips, Chex mix, corn nuts, etc.)

one time I got home late from work and I had a jar of pickles and a box of cheap wine in the fridge, so i poured myself a cup and grabbed some pickles and ate that for dinner, then about an hour later I had to run to the toilet to barf out all the pink relish

[–] paperazzi@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago

That sounded pretty good until the pink relish part. Won't try it.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Usually these are supposed to be ironic, but I genuinely see nothing wrong with this.

[–] bier@feddit.nl 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's a healthier meal than 90% of stuff from the supermarket, maybe a bit high on the salt

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

maybe a bit high on the salt

If they're calamatas take that bit high and make it slightly less salty then all the salt.

Olives - the father
Olive tapenade - the son
Olive oil - the holy spirit

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Weird I thought pimento was the son.

[–] bricklove@midwest.social 8 points 1 day ago

That's Protestant heresy!

What the fuck is wrong with you?

[–] QuizzaciousOtter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

To be frank, I definitely did this as tome point and I'm pretty sure I actually did not regret it.

[–] xylol@leminal.space 3 points 1 day ago

this seems like a after dinner thing for me, sit down have dinner, go grab some olives and watch tv

[–] Saganaki@lemmy.zip 12 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I’m described by this meme and I don’t like it.

[–] IhaveCrabs111@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

Didn’t you read the meme? There’s nothing to regret

[–] Gnugit@aussie.zone 11 points 1 day ago

I like this.

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

if i had to pick something to eat 30 or 40 of then olives would be in the top 5

[–] tamal3@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago

Pistachios?

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

You gotta balance that out with some croutons. Like, a whole bag of croutons.

I'm drunk as fuck rn but the pub I went to had some bomb ass olives that tasted kind of like corn, and now I regret not asking what they were called.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago

Fuck it. Ask them. Just pick up the phone and call them right now to ask.

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Obviously you have to use your fingers, because you need to stick the olives on the ends of your fingers and wiggle your fingers around first before eating the olives.

[–] dontpanic@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago

THANK YOU. This is the way.

Am I not suppose to use my penis?

[–] exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Not if you want it to stay extra virgin

You win the internet for today.

if it needs to be green olives, get the stuffed ones. but black olives are fine.

Later that day, my anus: "You have betrayed me!"

Finally, a real life hack!

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 1 day ago

I used to eat entire cans of black olives as a kid when there wasn't much in the house.

I still would, except I don't usually have cans of olives on hand.

[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Costco sells a big jar of garlic-stuffed green olives and I have to ration my daily intake or I'll destroy the jar in no time
