I don't like olives.

I found out last week that A A Nemtheanga has only had 3 or 4 pints of Guinness ever. Shocking.

Maybe that's why he can be in a very good shape, nice picture for an old man

And Dragonlady's a really good photographer.

Ive never tried an olive simply because I dont think I would like them.. I did force myself to like celery. Now I eat it all the time.

i didnt like tomatoes as a kid but with time i learned they are multiple good for me so i sort of liked them with time.

lets make a little poll, what youd prefer best: mustard, mayonnaise or ketchup?

I don't know anything about any of this, but if those two chappies in the photos aren't the same person, then something FUNNY's going on.

And olives are still devil poo. Yech.

Those "fish" things are cool, though. And that strange green paste.

 

[discouraged1]

whats wrong with devils poo?

It's nice to look at, but you wouldn't so want to slurp it up through your nose.

 

[discouraged1]

i dont do that with olives either

 

[bleed_black_orchid]

are we still on about olives?

The answer to discourageds questions is simple mayo simply bcos it tastes good on its own and tastes good with mustard in it and with ketchup in it.

 

[discouraged1]

haha i somehow knew youd be for mayo

others?

 

[bleed_black_orchid]

whats up with girls and celery? is it because bridget jones eats them?

 

[siderea]

you lose weight while eating it because you then burn more calories than it contains

 

[siderea]

does bridget jones eat them mehdi?

 

[Light]

no, it's from the stringy bits, and the CURVE

a friend of mine just asked me if you eat fresh olives, like from a tree, if they are poisonous. her brother says they are, and that that's why they put them in oil to establish some chemical process which makes them edible
anyone knows?

i love olives btw. green ones.

Ian asks: I remember hearing an old wives tale that unripe olives are mildly poisonous. Is this true?

OOS Replies: unripe olives have bitter tannins which make them unpalatable but not poisonous. Birds and animals eat ripe olives with impunity. Humans usually prefer to have the tannins and astringent compounds removed with lye, brine or salt treatments. The "poisonous" chemicals are in the water soluble part of the olive. When olive oil is made, the water and pulp with these bitter chemicals are discarded and don't end up in the oil.
