  1. I've been experimenting with olives with various stuffings lately.
    First almond-stuffed olives. Okay. Then garlic-stuffed olives.
    Mmmmm......better yet. Next, jalapeño-stuffed olives. Not quite as
    good as the garlic ones, but fun.

    Today I picked up some anchovy-stuffed olives. DING! DING! DING! We
    have a winner. A burst of delicious fishy goodness! Garlic places a
    strong second. But it's the anchovy ones that I'm gonna have to work at
    not eating up in one evening. 🙂

    For Christmas I got my daughter four jars of habanero stuffed olives.
    She really likes them. I didn't try one.

    I'm a spicy food fan, and I love olives, but habaneros are just more
    than I am willing to take on. My kids have made a few things with
    habaneros, and they've been fine, but there wasn't much habanero in them.

    SALT FIX!!!

    Sorry babe, but <gag>!

    ;-p

    Try stuffing some with a mild white cheese...

    I do confess tho' to using sliced olives in tuna fish salad. Fish and
    olives are compatible...

    I'm just not an anchovy fan! Too salty!!!

    On an olive bar near here, there are green olives with lemon
    pieces and minced garlic. Yum! So I can imagine those are
    great too.

    Now I am reminded that I want to find gorgonzola-stuffed olives.

    It's a little salty, yeah. But these are tiny quantities, as they're
    small olives. 🙂

    I've not seen those. I have to say, I don't see the connection (as I
    don't with almond-stuffed, but they're okay) -- but I'll keep an eye out
    for them. Thanks.

    It's not hard to stuff your own.

    Hmmm...this makes me wonder how would some nice green olives taste
    mixed in with my preserved lemons for a bit?

    I think I will pour out some of the lemon juice into a separate
    container and just throw in some olives. What else could I mix in?

    Minced celery here, and dill relish.

    I've used both, myself. I don't usually have celery on hand, but nearly
    always have relish and normally use it in my TFS. Usually my mix is
    mayo, horseradish mustard, chopped union, finely chopped carrot if I
    have any, and relish and/or chopped olives, and black pepper.

    Here's a couple pages' worth:

    Wow -- these guys (and probably all the other olive vendors online)
    have 10-oz jars for $3.08US apiece. I paid $3.09 for the 3-oz jar at my
    usual non-upscale chain grocery. Shipping on a few jars wouldn't offset
    that much price difference.

    Yep. I discovered these about 10 years ago and they account for
    95% of the green olives I buy. Always buy the imported ones -
    there's a couple American-made ones out of California that are
    just nasty. Italy makes the best ones, then Spain.
