Poll: Olives - poll please

[Lysander]

Olives

I have just realised the answer to a question that has plagued my brain for many years. Are green olives superior to black olives... or vice versa?

The answer - I have decided - is black ones are better.

Can we have a poll along the lines of

-black
-green
-can't decide/don't mind
-they're horrible

Dank je wel.

Horrible things. They need to be cast into the firey depths of Hell along with mushrooms.

I know I should like them, as I enjoy olive oil :0
The taste varies so much between them maybe I just have not found the right ones yet.

Black. Although both are nice.And preserved in oil rather than brine. But much less choice.

Green.

I used to hate Olvies but since a recent trip to Italy I have become addicted to them! However the ones back here in Tesco don't compare to the ones I had in Italy, (which were only from the CO-OP so nowhere flash) these were drenched in Olive Oil and tasted wonderful.

pretty crap for a lot of things.

Use the right oil for the right cooking technique/flavour

Once you go black you never go back.
