it was disgusting. why are they so rare to buy raw and not in a jar? please tell me they taste differently when not pickled/processed and straight from the tree. Re: Olives? love/hate?

Date: February 21, 2011 10:40PM lol.. I've loved them since I was 2. There's different kinds though.. some are disgusting. The only "raw" ones I've had were from Natural Zing and I didn't find them better or worse than "cooked". They were good but not amazingly better. Re: Olives? love/hate?

Date: February 21, 2011 10:42PM Same experience as yourself i dont know what olives are meant to taste like i know alot love them.
Personally a while back i got some vegan friendly olives meant to be packed with chilis. I dont know if it was the horrible liquid they were in or if it was the olives themselves but there were green and black ones and i nearly vomitted how disgusting they were. Edited 1 time(s).

Date: February 21, 2011 10:54PM I used to love them - not so much anymore. We used to get the raw ones from sunfood. The black ones are okay, I kinda prefer green... Chopped up w/ avocado is good... Re: Olives? love/hate?

Date: February 22, 2011 09:26AM most olives taste bad to me, but I had these ones awhile ago, that I forgot the name of, which has pissed me off considerably, that where so deliciously fruity tasting, with no noticeable hint of salt... and it was at an olive bar in a normal grocery store?! I dont know how they where made, if they where raw or vegan friendly or whatever, they where just awesome... stone in btw... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh, mirror in the sky What is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changing ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life? Re: Olives? love/hate?

I usually try and cure my own but don't often get time so I do buy the raw jarred ones sometimes. I'm lucky in my area, we have a lot of greek and italian families, so olives picked fresh off the tree are easy to get in season as lots of people bottle them at home here. Re: Olives? love/hate?

Date: March 06, 2011 01:19PM I used to love the black ones, but have gone off of them. Now, I love green ones. Green olives + drizzle of lemon juice = mmmmmm! Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
