black olives from pizza places are usually not actually black; they’re green olives that have been chemically treated to oxidise quicker.
…which is presumably why they usually taste like o-rings.
That might explain why i hate them so much even though i love all other olives
That might explain why I only ever get the texture from olives on pizza…which is…actually still ok with me. Flavorless for sure but yum olive texture
The texture of canned “black olives” isn’t really all that different from most types, but they have a much weaker flavor because they are processed in a matter of days instead of weeks/months/years of the alternative methods. Those longer methods, usually some combinations of brine and/or fermenting are where most of that flavor comes from. I only know this because I had a grand idea to try to grow my own olives and I looked into it and realized I wasn’t ever going to end up with my own that resembled stuff from the store. This is just more random info hiding in my brain instead of things that would be useful on a daily basis.
Lol I went down that olive rabbit hole once during covid. So much more work than I thought
Mate. It’s called pribbles and tarn, you dunce.
Proper scran, that
Tf did this guy just call chips and pips?
He said “I love fries.” and got misheard.
Looks kinda dry but with some sauce this actually would be great fast food
Some garlicky gravy-adjacent sauce and maybe something like chili flakes and I’d eat that with zero hesitation.
Even if these look like the abhorrent “olives” that are surely the leading cause of people thinking olives are disgusting. If these were freshly sliced regular brown olives (regular to me in the Mediterranean) they wouldn’t even need sauce at all. Although the chili flakes can stay.
I could go on about olives for days.
Brown, green, black. Yum.
I especially love the green pimento stuffed ones. I’m a maniac. Did you know that pimento is a type of pepper??
Mayonnaise, probably… would work for most Europeans.
For the Western hemisphere, hollandaise or Thousand Island. (Keep in mind, ketchup won’t work well with the olives.)
Asia, you’re gonna want a few extra things to build it up. Japan got it right with Umami, baby.
