Culinary question.
What do the people of the board prefer:

1. Black olives
2. Green olives
3. Sun-dried tomato?

All of the above.
And a cheeseburger.

No.
Raw and bloody and straight from the writhing corpse of a freshly slaughtered pig.

No - the meat question came out of the vast quanitites of barbeque that my boyfriend and his flatmate enjoy.

I just have to think of how to word it succinctly :)

Well olives are fucking rank.
So i'll have to go with the tomatoes.

Green olives on their own
Black olives in sauces, on pizzas, in sandwiches.
Sundried tomatoes in other sandwiches.

All great :D

Everyone does
when they're lying down. And when you're close enough.

If they're too skinny you get bruises.

Depends on the situation.
If we're just talking about eating them on their own, it'd have to be green olives for me but, for a great tomato sauce for pasta, sundried tomatoes and black olives are equally great. On overall volume consumed, it'd probably be black olives.

Why?
(, Tue 5 Jul 2005, 13:55, archived)
I added whole black olives into a ragu-type sauce
And it makes it taste rather lully. But green olives don't really have the same effect, and sun-dried tomatoes are always great.

But there are those who don't like the olive of either colour, and I guess I was rather curious about the olive/tomato feeling on the board.

I'm being silly, in other words.

Oh, right.
I thought you might have been is the midst of some sort of culinary crisis, but it sounds like you made the right decision.
(, Tue 5 Jul 2005, 14:05, archived)
I used to go for the black olive in tomato-based sauces in a big way
...but recently, I've gone for a creme fraiche in tomato and basil sauce sort of approach.

It's rather good with cous cous in fact --- that was surprising...
(, Tue 5 Jul 2005, 14:12, archived)
Mmm, creamy tomato sauce with basil is very good,
but I'm not sure I'd want it with couscous, out of choice.
(, Tue 5 Jul 2005, 14:23, archived)
I just had the cous cous lurking around and thought, what the hell, why not?
It's surprisingly nice, though next time I do that, it's going to be a lamb-based tomato-type thing with cous cous.
(, Tue 5 Jul 2005, 14:26, archived)
Sounds more like it.
Couscous is nice, but only when flavoured properly, otherwise it's just packing material.
(, Tue 5 Jul 2005, 14:32, archived)
2.
Although good black olives are probably better than good green olives.
