Green olives. None of my cooking use them as an ingredient, so once in a blue moon I remember that I like them, so I eat an entire jar with a toothpick.
Have you tried Sicilian olives specifically? They almost have an umami flavour
I may have, I don’t know enough about olives to tell. I usually just buy the biggest jar of castrated green olives that I can find here in scandinavialand.
My “salads” are technically that due to having cucumber in them. But other than that it’s mostly just cheese which I don’t like with olives.
I make sure I always have an unopened jar. As soon as I open it, I put another jar on the shopping list. Check out some Puerto Rican dishes. Arroz con Gandules, etc. Great use of green olives in those.
Disappointed I didn’t find the “30 to 40 olives” meme in the comments.
I guess I’ll have to link to it myself.
