I am gonna stink!

AJUK · 10 Mar 2006 at 12:47

I have just wandered up into the city centre to grab a spot of lunch and being a Friday, there is a farmers market. As I wandered past one of the stores I got a wiff of scrummy garlic and herbs, following my nose I found the most excellent olives stuffed with garlic. I bought myself a tub and thought I would try a couple at my desk with my lunch. Two things:
1) Each olive appears to be stuffed with a whole garlic clove! :eek:

2) They are, quite frankly, LUSH, and I have eaten half of the tub already, thereby consuming at least 10 cloves of garlic.

This tub was full:

At least you're now safe from vampires... The only down side is that you're now safe from every other type of living thing too.

I love garlic (what frenchman doesn't?!

)... I love olives (what mediteranean person doesn't!?

). They look delicious, I want some

They are just so more-ish, I have had to put them away for fear of overdosing on garlic.

I'm going to do you a favour and put the Detox clinic on amber alert.

Phantom · 10 Mar 2006 at 13:03

Pebbles · 10 Mar 2006 at 13:05

You'll be oozing garlic from your ever pore for the next week! But I'd do the same, they're scrummy!

You can never have too much garlic

that food is wrong in so many ways, i dont even know where to start.

probably cos im stuffed after my dinner, but that picture made me wretch a little

Luckily, I work on my own and my misses is away for a wekk so unless I go to the pub tonight, the general public are safe from my anticipated demon breath and general stench.

To answer the question, yes, they are very good indeed. I am going to use the rest for a nice pasta, pesto, olives and parmasan lunch. Topped off with a nice glass of dry white wine of course.

MMmm, damn you i'm tempted to pop into the farmers market now...must resist thou, don't wanna stink of garlic when the lady turns up later

Breath mints for the win! o:

The deli around the corner from me sells these quite regularly. Really nice taste to them. occasionally, they have almond stuffed olives too, but they are nowhere near as nice as the garlic ones. To be honest, the smell from the garlic ones is nowhere near as strong as you'd expect....well, the ones i buy arnt.

Olives rock.

Garlic is pretty awesome too.

So, on the whole, you win.
