Am Greek, can confirm you will not regret this.
*can also be substituted with pickles
As someone who has eaten the majority of a container of pickles in one sitting…
You’ll be spending time sitting somewhere else after. Whether you regret that or not it’s entirely a matter of opinion.
I would drink olive brine instead of water every day if it wouldn’t kill me.
Or those pickled baby-corn cobs!
Wow what a great and nutritious meal
Olives are unironically among the healthiest stuff you can eat.
Also a great way to spice up aglio e olio a bit. Don’t use the pasta water to emulsify in that case but roast some flour in the oil, then use the water from the olive jar, the olives themselves only have to get warmed up a bit. Don’t forget the chilli.
Oh and get black olives. black ones, not blackened, look for Iron(II)-lactate or -gluconate that shit shouldn’t be in there. Even better: Don’t get jars but salted ones, in modern times the only ingredients will be olives, salt, and vacuum. You’ll probably have to order them online if you don’t have a suitable ethnic store in your neighbourhood and they’re going to be both better and cheaper than that supermarket stuff. They last for ages if unopened and/or stored properly, before eating you should soak them in water though to get rid of the excessive salt. Oh, and be prepared for a de-stoning marathon.
Like this classic green text:
All I can think of is that gym bro doing shots of olive oil. It’s an ancient greentext story, where he figured it’s fine on food and in food, so the free calories are easy gains. Right? This went great until poop exited his body unimpeded. It would be misleading and incomplete to say that he shit his pants. It’s more that a whole turd let itself out and made its way straight down one pant leg. Like it had important places to be.
similar 100% true story from a green text:
kid goes out for his 21st, and grandpa tells him that the secret to never getting too drunk is drinking some olive oil before a shot, so that the alcohol never enters the bloodstream, or something.
they follow through, and shit their pants after one round; ironically, the oil drinking did technically prevent them from getting drunk.
I don’t care if it’s fake, it’s still a hilarious idea
I’m starting to think I might regret it.
I have yet to regret such a decision. Though to be fair I didn’t use my fingers and eat directly from a jar. That could be the difference.
Olives look fine and smell good but damn do they taste like shit.
I eat spam straight out of the can with a spoon
You could combine spam along with the spam.
Have you got anything without spam?
Urgghh!
Why you gotta call me out like that?
Where’s the lie?
Olives are the one food that I don’t like. Seriously, the one thing. So for me, olives have always been a lie
Replace this pic with pickles though and I’m 1000% on board
I once thought I didn’t like olives, till I tried some Spanish olives from a local market there. I realised that I just dislike bad olives

I do like pickles but olives are def better in my opinion.
A duel it is, then
Hated olives for my entire life untill my wife let me taste some lettinos. Those where amazing most kalamata olives are great and tasty aswell avoid those from the supermarket though they seem to be soaked in preservatives.
There is a world of quality differences in olives. The ones who are not homogeneous of color seem to be ages over time instead of with acid.
That you’d regret it? What’s to regret from becoming a Greek philosopher slash Olympic warrior?
I could always count on one of those giant sams club jars of green olives from my grandma on my birthday when I was a kid.

Don’t judge. They taste good and I use a fork (I’m not an animal)
Technically all humans are animals. Using a fork doesn’t make you better than us schlubs
It’s the fucking beans all over again
