What's a food you forget you like? Then you eat it, and wonder why you don't buy it more often?

Green olives. None of my cooking use them as an ingredient, so once in a blue moon I remember that I like them, so I eat an entire jar with a toothpick.

I throw them in my salads

My "salads" are technically that due to having cucumber in them. But other than that it's mostly just cheese which I don't like with olives.

Have you tried Sicilian olives specifically? They almost have an umami flavour

I may have, I don't know enough about olives to tell. I usually just buy the biggest jar of castrated green olives that I can find here in scandinavialand.

... I'm guessing Castelvetrano! Ha. Those are my favorite olives too.

I make sure I always have an unopened jar. As soon as I open it, I put another jar on the shopping list. Check out some Puerto Rican dishes. Arroz con Gandules, etc. Great use of green olives in those.
