Olive bars in grocery stores

You know those olive bars they have in grocery stores?? They should charge less for olives that have pits than the hollow ones. You're getting ripped off paying for the pits.

Thoughts?

Olives are nasty. Them things are horrible. Crazy olive eaters don't care about cost.

Pits are the best part. Same reason I never buy seedless nuts

I can eat black sliced olives maybe that's about it. I've no use for 'em really.

I love olives. I wish they'd open an olive bar in a Vegas casino. Call it The Pits.

A company around here make Almond, Jalapeno and Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives...Packed in Vermouth with chili seeds. Pop 2 in a glass of Bombay Sapphire and pour in a dash of the Olive/Vermouth juice and you're good to go.

Ok...if you want to get technical...pour a dash of the Olive/Vermouth juice and two jiggers of Bombay Sapphire into an ice cold shaker full of ice...shake as long as you can stand it...pour into an ice cold martini glass and then pop two of the olives into the glass....then you're good to go.

I gotta agree with Snidely, olives are pretty disgusting IMO.

I have seen people use their fingers to sample from the olive bar. That ended my desire to every buy anything but olives from a jar

My go to olive bar mix is: about a dozen small mozz balls, 2 stuffed khot peppers, feta cheese, blue cheese stuffed olives, calamata olives, and 2 or 3 grape leaves. It's a great snack when throwing back a few beers

Here's to You Mr. Alan, ..... In my favorite glass from the Bellagio that Rock'n Rita bought for me.

The "Olives" restaurant at Bellagio serves up a mean martini with blue-cheese stuffed olives. And its only $16. Fortunately, you're pretty lit by the time they hand you the bill
