At Whole Foods, there's an open bar - an Olive Bar. My fiancé likes to try different olives, eventually we'll taste them all. We're making our rounds!
It's $10.99 / lb Mix + Match, but we usually just spend $2-4 only on a couple kinds.
Do you have a favorite kind of olive? I should really jot down the names too. But so far we have a couple favorites! I used to not like olives but it's growing on me!

I love olives and go crazy at the olive bar any time I am in Whole Foods. If my girlfriend didn't stop me, I would blow our entire grocery budget buying everything at the olive bar!

@infatuatedbby I could seriously eat olives all day long; well, at least until I get sick from eating so much! haha

I didn't know there were that many kinds of olives. I really like them. Gotta make to the Whole Foods here sometime before I go to the great beyond. I like the regular black ones or the green ones with the pimentos in them.

Actually I seldom try the olive. Usually I just use the olive oil to make pizza and some western food. As to the olive, I ever tried it in a pizza before. I am not very interested in it. My son even picked them out since he didn't like it

I'm always passing those olive bars, but haven't tried it out. We love the typical black olives - I admit we get them from a can
. I'd really love to try other ones - but doubt the kids would be adventurous about any other olives other than black. I remember my friend made us tuna sandwiches to take to the beach . . . and it had big chunks of kalamata olives in it - the taste was just way too strong and I felt bad all of us just could not eat the poor sandwiches.

@infatuatedbby I didn't know you could mix and match . . . I'll have to do that! The ones my friend put in her tuna were way too overpowering . . . too salty and too weird pickle-y tasting. I do like olives in salads!

@much2say Yes, you can mix and match :) We went to Whole foods again today but no olives thankfully. We got shrimp and eggs!

My fiancé loves to try everything
You can even get a handful and pay by the pound :) That's what we do! Not too much of anything about 3-4 each to see which one we like and a couple kinds then next time more!
I wouldn't add olives in sandwiches just on the side if anyone wants some
I like olives with rice and meat meals

I hate all olives. I have never liked them and they just weird me out. The picture you posted makes me want to gag because the bottom one has that weird slimy filmy look to it. I was dared to eat one when younger with friends and I threw it back up. The smell of them gets to me.

olives are not available here in Malaysia. Very hard to find raw or cooked olives here. Only pizza have olives. How did the olives tasted?

I like green olives the best, but I'm not an olive expert.

I do not like olives in particular, but I do love stuffed olives. I do not like olives on my pizzas but surprisingly I love it on my pasta. Those olives look so good! I love shopping at Whole Foods and that is only one of the reasons why.
