We've done pickles (and I maintain that Tony Packo's Pickles and Peppers / Sweet Hots are the best) lets do olives.

I'm partial to spicy ones so to me, these are the best.  In general all their products are good, big olives with nice "bite."



Recently tried Delallo (out of Jeanette, PA) garlic and jalapeno stuffed - very good as well.

My wife gets pissed when I eat the entire jar in one night.  Those are the best.  Otherwise, any spanish olive is good olive.

The Mezzetta stuff has always been too much of an aftertaste for me. Dunno why. Maybe preservatives?

Sam's sells a two pack of green Queen olives that are a gift from the heavens. They are huge and tasty delicious

Honestly - I love olives (both black and green), but sheepishly I'll admit that I can't tell the difference between the expensive ones and the cheap ones...



When it comes to olives, I guess I put myself in the same box as those that think Miller Lite is good beer.....

Lindsay brand olives. The only brand to buy. Years back I my computer had a large window on the side of the tower. I kept a can of Lindsay olives inside the tower where people could see them.

Also, I don't know how this whole deal with making martinis out of vodka got started. I mean, I know they are very closely related spirits, but a martini is made out of gin and a little vermouth.

I love them

Could go broke at an olive bar lol

I rinse a few small chunks of green olives and give them to my cats and they act like they are on catnip

Garlic stuffed olives are the best.  A whole clove of garlic in each one.

You have to REALLY like garlic, though.

Best I have found are Halutza olives although I haven't been able to find them for a while.

Pitted (and worse, pitted and stuffed) olives are pablum for babies. Real olives are in brine, with pits. Spitting out the pits is half the fun. Buy Kalamata olives in bulk, from the barrel.

Any idea what those red ones are?  I think I had one once and it was awesome but I haven't been able to chase them down.
