I love olives! The kalamata, greek, nicoise, or other strongly flavored black ones are my favorites. The pitted canned black kind are ok. I've come across some green olives that I like, but for the most part I don't care for them much.
I like to put them in salads, in pasta, on pizza, have a few on the side with falafel, on sandwiches. Such wonderful flavor, mmmm...
I hate bloody marys. I don't like tomato juice, celery or pickles. Guess that leaves the vodka and olive. Better stick to martinis then.
