Castelventrano olives, pickled okra

i had olives stuffed with lemon rind recently and was hooked. Also enjoy olives stuffed with jalapeños.

I’ve only had it once but theres also pickled watermelon rind

  • Make margaritas and empanadas with the Spanish olives.

  • Make nachos with canned black olives, jalapeños and maybe add the artichoke hearts… maybe.

  • Make chicken piccata with the capers. Yummm! I love capers! 🥰

  • Snack on cornichons; put sliced pickles in a sandwich (DIY chik-fil-a sandwich)

  • Put sauerkraut over kielbasa.

The sun-dried tomatoes and I do not get along but thanks for asking. Please throw them out.

162... Meh on the rest

I like big-ass garlic stuffed green olives.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I love katamala olives and pickles. Black olives are fine if I can't get katamala.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

A nice artichoke heart in oil hits a spot nothing else does, but the versatility of the black olive is hard to beat.

Sundrieds can also be really good, but you have to know how to use them.

Jarred red peppers are underrated as a replacement in basically any other place you'd put a red pepper.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Dry, salty, black olives. Best paired with a light beer and a blazing-hot summer day.

Pickled jalapenos are just fantastic. Hot, sour, flavorful, and just versatile at 'waking up' all kinds of food.

Capers are great on all kinds of savory dishes where you want a little salt and sourness, but other pickles would just be overkill.

Canned black olives belong on pizza, and the occasional loaded nacho plate. They're kind of awful in other applications.

As for the classic dill pickle, ever had one in Dr. Pepper?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Olives with beer taste just like toast! Fosters is the best for testing this theory.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Lots of caper haters in the world. Sad!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Chupadedos olives

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

2, 6 and 8 is fine.

Olives and capers can fuck right off!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

jfc people!

Castelvetrano olives > everything on that list

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Marinated sun-dried tomatoes & garlic. I could eat that forever.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Can’t forget the pickled okra!

Who? No idea who that is. I'm just a simple journalist. Check out my Substack. KentaKuraaku.substack.co.jp

Every one is an s tier food. I fucking love olives and pickles.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

I like all of these except capers. I eat olives and pickles regularly.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Salt-fermented pickles. Mmmmm.

But really, I love all this stuff.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Everything on this list is my favorite, basically

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Canned black olives are the only olives I really enjoy, but I haven't had a green olive since I was a kid and now I am not sure if the olive was gross or if it was just the pimento I hated.

But dill pickles (gherkins) are a top tier snack and condiment.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

The pimento doesn't really have all that much flavor, espec next to the olive. You should definitely try some green olives again, it is one of this things that it's not uncommon to dislike as a child and later acquire a taste for.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Sweet gherkin, I guess?
I'm not exactly sure what the category is

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

All have their place, but canned black olives tap into childhood nostalgia. Putting an olive on each finger and eating them one at a time.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

I make my own kimchi, sauerkraut, and various Chinese fermented vegetables.

I make what I call a "dirty margarita." Jalapeño stuffed olives are a must.

In a salad, kalamata or dried black olives.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

Green olives. Preferably stuffed with garlic.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

I casually snack on cornichons straight out of the jar, or else with ham and camembert on a French baguette. In that case I'll slice them lengthwise just so they don't roll off.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

Pickles are definitely my favorite on that list. My favorite is probably zesty bread and butter, but I also love dill. Black olives are alright. Most pickled veg are pretty good. Pickled jalapenos are good, but I much prefer fresh ones.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I love pickles, Kalamata olives, kimchi, and artichoke hearts. I'd say I like everything else, although I've had some bad green olives and am not crazy about capers.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Pickled beets. They're good until you forget you ate them

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Ah yes, that brief moment of cold panic where you sincerely contemplate being deathly ill but still able to do something about it... right before your memory kicks in.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Red pee? Red poop? Oh I ate beets.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I love beets. And the ensuing staring into a toilet wondering if I should go see a doctor

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Write "you ate beets" to a post-it and stick it on the mirror

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

I think pickled onions count and should be here so I would say that but I also enjoy capers in the right setting.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Pickles will never voluntarily touch my plate, and when they do I push my plate to the nearest pickle person so I don’t have to remove it myself and get contaminated with the vinegar.

Sun dried tomatoes and the occasional kalamata olive I can tolerate. Artichoke hearts and roasted bell peppers are awesome.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

marinated garlic cloves, olives stuffed with almonds, mini peppers with cream cheese

also, capers and cornichons have no business being food.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

Pickles are my favorite, especially dill spears. I've also enjoyed capers on top of grilled salmon with (I think) a beurre blanc sauce. Kalamata olives on pizza is really good too.
