    Castelventrano olives, pickled okra

    i had olives stuffed with lemon rind recently and was hooked. Also enjoy olives stuffed with jalapeños.

    I’ve only had it once but theres also pickled watermelon rind

    Canned black olives are the only olives I really enjoy, but I haven’t had a green olive since I was a kid and now I am not sure if the olive was gross or if it was just the pimento I hated.

    But dill pickles (gherkins) are a top tier snack and condiment.

      The pimento doesn’t really have all that much flavor, espec next to the olive. You should definitely try some green olives again, it is one of this things that it’s not uncommon to dislike as a child and later acquire a taste for.

    • Make margaritas and empanadas with the Spanish olives.

    • Make nachos with canned black olives, jalapeños and maybe add the artichoke hearts… maybe.

    • Make chicken piccata with the capers. Yummm! I love capers! 🥰

    • Snack on cornichons; put sliced pickles in a sandwich (DIY chik-fil-a sandwich)

    • Put sauerkraut over kielbasa.

    The sun-dried tomatoes and I do not get along but thanks for asking. Please throw them out.

    All have their place, but canned black olives tap into childhood nostalgia. Putting an olive on each finger and eating them one at a time.

    A nice artichoke heart in oil hits a spot nothing else does, but the versatility of the black olive is hard to beat.

    Sundrieds can also be really good, but you have to know how to use them.

    Jarred red peppers are underrated as a replacement in basically any other place you’d put a red pepper.
