Do you like olives, and do you prefer green or black ones?

I love any sort of olive.

I like them stuffed, pitted, green or black.

My least favourite is where you have to spit out the pips as I find this awful if there are other people around and also I think a lot gets wasted.

Perhaps my favourite is green however I seem to always cook with black ones as they go well with feta which i use a lot of.

I love absolutely all olives!!! I marinate my own with roasted capsicum and Balsamic vinegar!! Mmmmmmm!

You lucky thing-after living in the country for 10 years and doing that also, I miss it -tried getting them unprocessed but could not!

It never ceases to amaze me what I can buy up here in North Qld!! There are so many garden farmers up north from me who have been growing all manner of wonderful prodiuce for generations since their ancestors came out from Asia during the Gold Rush in the late 1880's. We are extremely spoilt here. The climate allows for the growing of various items all years through,so the seasons do not affect us so much.In fact I have tomatoes in tubs all the months of the year !

I love all olives...

I love green olives but hate black olives. I really like olives stuffed with red pepper or soft cheese. They also taste nice marinate in chilli/garlic/rosemary olive oil.

I love Olives.
I like Green the best with no seed, that's a pain when you bite down..Ouch!
I like Black too, but I find them quite salty.

Nothing nicer, Olives...Cheese...Wine.....Heaven.

minus the wine! black are more salty -is why they are good in cooking!

I like olives, especially plain black ones.

I like olives in general, however you're giving me olives is how I like them! If I had to pick a favourite, if you REALLY needed me to discriminate, I'd be choosing green and stuffed.

I love all olives and anyway too. stuffed, Pitted is best as you say, dips and spreads etc. However, I cannot eat too many as i am allegic to stone fruit! Bummer! So I must limit myself and I usually can, LOL

Either colour. Any way they come is good, for me!
BUT, pips MUST BE REMOVED!

by donjo

Unpipped Green olives with Capsicum, or halved Green olives in herbed oil.
I find Black olives are often still have the pip in situ - perhaps as they are much softer and likely to squash whereas the firmer Green olives hold their shape.
Black Olive Tapenade is great on buttered fresh bread with cheese!

I love all olives but especially without the seeds in them!

I like them all except for the black ones which I find tasteless. Love Kalamata olives though and go into overload when I'm using them in pizza. I prefer the stuffed green ones in my salads but if I've run out of them I use the Kalamata ones. They are definetly at home in a Greek salad.

Love 'em! Except for the Spanish black ones. I love Kalamtas and green ones, stuffed, unstuffed, on pizza, by themselves, for a snack or in a salad.Yummy.
